Representative actions
- Get Historic Radiation And Weather
Tool to get historical irradiance and weather estimated actuals for a requested location. Use when you need historical solar radiation and weather data from 2007-01-01 to 7 days ago, for up to 31 days at a time.
- Get PV Power Resource
Tool to retrieve a specific PV power resource by its unique identifier. Use when you need to fetch complete resource configuration including capacity, orientation, tracking, and derating parameters.
- Get Resources PV Power Sites
Tool to list PV power resources available to authenticated user. Use when you need to retrieve the list of PV power sites with optional filtering by entitlement level.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Solcast
Can Claude use Solcast?
Yes. Add a Solcast connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.
Can Codex work with Solcast through Type?
Yes. Add a Solcast connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.
Is this the same as a Solcast MCP server?
Not exactly. Type uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
