How do AI agents use Solcast through Open Connector?

Your user connects Solcast once with one of its cataloged authentication methods. Open Connector stores the credential in an encrypted vault and exposes Solcast tools to your agent over MCP or a typed API, with credentials injected server-side on each call.

Is this a Solcast MCP server?

Yes. Open Connector can serve Solcast as a named MCP server with a scoped allowlist and a per-user connection URL, so any MCP client can call Solcast actions with credentials injected server-side.

Where do Solcast credentials live?

In your own infrastructure. Open Connector keeps credentials in its own vault and injects them at call time, so they never leave your environment.

Solcast integration

Solcast integration for AI agents.

Solcast integration for AI agents with secure authentication and server-side credential injection. Open Connector runs the OAuth, seals the token in an encrypted vault, and serves Solcast tools to your agent over MCP or a typed API — credentials injected server-side, every call audited, nothing leaving your infrastructure. Open source (AGPL-3.0) and self-hostable.

What your agents can do

Real Solcast actions, managed and audited.

Your user connects Solcast once; your agent can then created using global weather data to deliver high-resolution, bankable historical and accurate forecast data for the renewable energy industry. Globally validated. Free to try. Access our data in just a few minutes with the Solcast API Toolkit — scoped to the OAuth permissions you grant and the tool allowlist you configure. Every action is least-privilege and written to a tamper-evident audit trail.

1
Your user grants Solcast access once (OAuth) — the token lands in the vault.
2
Your agent calls a tool over MCP or the typed API; Open Connector injects the credential server-side.
3
Every routed call appends a hash-chained audit record — nothing leaves your infra.

Tools & triggers

Supported Solcast tools.

43 tools are generated from the published Solcast catalog. Descriptions are plain text; each action remains subject to its configured authentication and tool allowlist.
