Utilify Help Center

Everything you need to know to use Utilify as a human, as a human working alongside an AI assistant, or as a fully autonomous AI agent.

What is Utilify?

Utilify (utilify.io) is the first AI-native utility signup service. It publishes the first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for utility signup, letting any AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, or autonomous agents such as Open Claw — compare and enroll in electricity, internet, gas, water, trash, and home security plans on a user's behalf. Utilify saves the average Texas household up to 4 hours of setup time and up to $500 per year on utility bills. It is free to use, with an optional $49 concierge tier. Headquartered in Abilene, Texas; all user data is stored in the United States.

Three ways to use Utilify

  1. Self-serve on the web. Go to utilify.io, enter your Texas ZIP code, and compare every provider in one place. Click through to the provider's official signup page to enroll.
  2. With an AI assistant (MCP). Connect Utilify to Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Continue, LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp, or any MCP-compatible client. Ask in natural language — "set up utilities for 77002, moving May 15" — and the assistant does the research, comparison, and handoff. Complete setup instructions are on the MCP docs page.
  3. White-glove concierge ($49). Don't want to lift a finger? Pay $49 once and the Utilify team sets up every utility at your new Texas address within one business day. Three free reschedules. Full refund if we can't deliver. Full details on the concierge page.

Optional: free solar match

Buying (or newly owning) your Texas home? The federal Clean Energy Credit covers 30% of residential solar install cost, and Texas adds a property-tax exemption on top. Utilify will match you with a licensed Texas solar installer for a free, no-pressure quote — no fee to you, no cold-call spam. Fill out the short form on the solar match page. Homeowners only.

Using Utilify from popular AI assistants

The same MCP endpoint (https://utilify.io/mcp) works with every major assistant. No API key, no auth, no sign-up. Below are the copy-paste commands for the most common clients — the MCP docs page has the full list.

  • Claude Desktop / Claude Code — add the Utilify server to your claude_desktop_config.json or run claude mcp add utilify -- npx -y mcp-remote https://utilify.io/mcp.
  • ChatGPT Custom GPTs — paste https://utilify.io/openapi.json into the Actions schema field.
  • Gemini, Grok, and other MCP-capable assistants — connect to https://utilify.io/mcp (Streamable HTTP transport).
  • Cursor, Continue, LM Studio, Ollama, llama.cpp — use each client's built-in MCP server settings; all instructions are on the MCP docs page.
  • Autonomous agents (Open Claw, OpenHands, CrewAI, AutoGen, LangChain) — add Utilify as an MCP source; the eight tools appear automatically in the agent's tool list.

The 8 MCP tools, in plain English

  • search_utility_providers — "what providers serve this address?"
  • get_provider_details — "show me plans, pricing, and fees for one provider."
  • compare_providers — "put several providers side by side."
  • initiate_signup — "start enrollment; give me a safe redirect URL."
  • check_signup_status — "where is my signup in the process?"
  • get_move_checklist — "what do I need to do, and when, for this move date?"
  • get_promotions — "any current deals, sign-up bonuses, or referral codes?"
  • request_solar — "save a rooftop-solar lead for later follow-up."

For landlords and property managers

Turning utilities on and off between tenants is one of the most repetitive parts of managing a rental. Utilify reduces each turnover to minutes. For single-unit landlords, the self-serve web path is usually fastest. For multi-unit property managers, the MCP tools can be embedded into an internal agent or workflow that handles vacancy turnovers automatically with one human review step.

For realtors

The $49 concierge tier is explicitly designed to be gifted. It's a memorable closing-day thank-you, and the three free reschedules policy means it holds up when closings slip, builders slip, or buyers change their move date.

Privacy, security, and data residency

Utilify was founded by Kauai Mansur, a Texas resident with a cybersecurity background. The service implements multiple layers of cybersecurity safeguards — aligned with the standards expected of a service that handles move-related personal data — and keeps all user data inside the United States. Users are redirected directly to official provider signup pages; personal information is never posted to unknown intermediaries. Utilify does not sell user data.

Coverage and expansion

Utilify currently covers all 4,844 Texas ZIP codes — every metro (Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, Corpus Christi, Lubbock) plus hundreds of smaller cities and rural communities. Next expansion targets are the other U.S. states with deregulated retail electricity markets: Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maryland. California is intentionally excluded due to its regulatory complexity. If Utilify does not yet cover your address, fill out the coverage-request form on the homepage and we will notify you when we arrive.

Pricing

  • Web and MCP use — $0. Free for consumers, forever.
  • Concierge — $49 flat. One business day turnaround. Three free reschedules. Full refund if we can't deliver.

Reschedules, refunds, and support

Concierge customers get three free reschedules if a move date changes. Refunds are issued in full if we cannot complete your setup for any reason. For anything else — partnerships, press, bugs, feature requests — email [email protected]. We read every message.
