Built for U.S. utilities

Real-time TOU electricity schedules
for AI agents and developers

Know whether electricity is cheap or expensive at U.S. addresses, right now, without parsing a tariff PDF or image file.

The Problem

TOU schedules are fragmented across hundreds of utilities, buried in tariff PDFs, and constantly changing. Our API makes it one call.

How It Works

1

Send a Unique Location

Pass any U.S. address or ZIP — no setup or configuration required.

2

Resolve Utility & Plan

We auto-detect the right utility and active TOU schedules for that location.

3

Get Current & Next Periods

Receive peak, off-peak, and other statuses, plus the next period name and its start time.

GET /api/v1/query/current?zip_code=94103
{
"confidence":"unique",
"results":[{
"period":"off_peak",
"next_change_at":"2026-05-16T16:00:00-07:00"
}]
}

Not just an API — a native tool for AI agents

tou.tools ships as an MCP server. Any AI agent with MCP support can query real-time TOU data without writing a line of integration code — no SDK, no auth plumbing, no schedule parsing. Plug it into Claude, ChatGPT, or any open-source agent framework and your agent knows the grid.
