Connect your AI to Renovara NEM data

Renovara publishes National Electricity Market (NEM) data through an MCP server. Connect it inside Claude or ChatGPT and you can query dispatch prices, regional demand, and unit-level data directly from a conversation — no SQL required. Pick your client below.

Before you start

  • Custom connectors are available on all Claude plans, including Free (Free accounts are limited to one custom connector).
  • Do this setup in Claude on the web (claude.ai) or in the desktop app.
  • On Team or Enterprise plans, an Owner needs to add the connector for the organisation before members can use it — if you don’t see the option below, ask your workspace owner.

Setup steps in Claude

  1. Open Settings → Connectors in Claude.
  2. Click Add custom connector.
  3. Fill in:
    • Name: Renovara NEM Connector
    • Enter the MCP server URL:

      MCP server URL

      https://dbc-9bf78499-2f71.cloud.databricks.com/api/2.0/mcp/sql
    • Enter the OAuth client ID (leave the client secret blank — it isn’t required):

      OAuth client ID

      3ac07fd1-f80d-40a3-9a12-1113d4cd3205
  4. Click Add to finish.
  5. Click Connect on the new connector — this opens the Databricks sign-in page.
    Use your work email to log in to the Renovara Databricks workspace — that’s the account your permissions are linked to. See the Signing in section below for what to expect.
  6. Once it authenticates, the connector appears in your list with its tools.

Configuring the connector in Claude

Using it in Claude

Start a new chat, click the search and tools icon next to the message box, and check Renovara NEM Connector is switched on.

If Claude doesn’t seem to see the connector’s tools, check it’s enabled in that chat’s tools menu.

Signing in: Renovara runs on Databricks

Renovara uses Databricks as its underlying data platform, so when Claude or ChatGPT asks you to sign in, you’ll see a Databricks login screen like the one below. Use the email path with your work email — it’s the most reliable way to log in (skip the Google and Microsoft buttons). Your work email is the account your permissions are linked to.

Before you start

  • You’ll need a paid ChatGPT plan (Plus, Pro, Team, or Enterprise) — custom connectors aren’t available on the free tier.
  • Do this setup in ChatGPT on the web (chatgpt.com) first; the desktop app picks the connector up afterwards.

Setup steps in ChatGPT

  1. Turn on Developer Mode: click your account icon → Apps → Advanced settings, and toggle Developer mode on.
  2. Go back to Apps and click Create (create connector).
  3. Fill in:
    • Icon: use the Renovara app icon  Renovara app icon  (download it here)
    • Name: Renovara NEM Connector
    • Enter the MCP server URL:

      MCP server URL

      https://dbc-9bf78499-2f71.cloud.databricks.com/api/2.0/mcp/sql
    • Authentication: OAuth
    • Enter the OAuth client ID (leave the client secret blank — it isn’t required):

      OAuth client ID

      314466cf-2fc6-4f53-8fe1-0838c05fc292
  4. Tick “I understand and want to continue” under the custom-MCP-server notice — ChatGPT shows this warning for every custom connector.
  5. Click Create. ChatGPT will open a sign-in window.
    Use your work email to log in to the Renovara Databricks workspace — that’s the account your permissions are linked to. See the Signing in section below for what to expect.
  6. Once it authenticates, the connector appears in your list with its tools.

Creating the connector in ChatGPT (New App dialog)

Using it in ChatGPT

Start a new chat, click the + next to the message box, choose More, and switch on Renovara NEM.

A saved connector isn’t active until you turn it on for that chat — this is the most common thing people miss.

If sign-in fails with a “redirect URI” error

ChatGPT sometimes generates its own per-connector callback URL during setup. If the OAuth sign-in completes cleanly, ignore this — you’re done.

If you hit an error like “invalid redirect_uri” or “redirect URI is not registered”, copy the error message and email it to accounts@renovara.co. We’ll authorise it on our side within a few minutes and you can retry — no other change needed.

Get started with our public agents and skills

Renovara publishes ready-to-use Claude agents and skills tailored to NEM market analysis:

GitHub repository

Each skill is published as a self-contained zip under Releases — download the one you want and install it into Claude.

For a first run, we recommend:

  • renovara_ai_nem_analyst — general NEM market analyst. Pairs nicely with the MCP connector and gives you a guided way to explore dispatch prices, regional demand, and unit-level data without needing to write SQL yourself.

New to Claude skills? Anthropic has a good primer: Agent skills overview.

What can you ask?

Once connected, just ask in plain English, for example:

  • “What tables are available in the nemweb schema?”
  • “Show me yesterday’s NSW spot prices.”
  • “Plot regional demand for SA over the last week.”

Your AI will write and run the SQL against our NEM data for you.

Hit an issue during setup? Email accounts@renovara.co and we’ll help you troubleshoot.
