Utilify MCP Server

The first Model Context Protocol server for utility signup. Plug Utilify into any MCP-compatible agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, or custom — and your agent can search, compare, and initiate utility signups at any Texas address on behalf of its user. No API key, no auth, no signup.

Quick start

Claude Desktop

Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "utilify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://utilify.io/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Try: "What electricity plans are available in Houston 77002?"

Claude Code

claude mcp add utilify -- npx -y mcp-remote https://utilify.io/mcp

Cursor

Open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add New MCP Server:

{
  "utilify": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://utilify.io/mcp"]
  }
}

Other MCP clients (Continue, Zed, custom)

Any client supporting Streamable HTTP transport can connect directly. Point it at https://utilify.io/mcp. No auth headers needed.

Local open-source agents (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp)

Run a local LLM on a Mac Studio or workstation? Utilify works with the MCP clients most local agents use. No data leaves your machine except the API call to https://utilify.io/mcp — no auth, no tracking pixels.

Ollama via ollmcp (terminal TUI that bridges Ollama + MCP):

pip install ollmcp
ollmcp add utilify https://utilify.io/mcp
ollmcp --model qwen3.5:9b

Models with strong tool-calling as of 2026: qwen3.5:9b, gemma4:e4b, llama4:8b. Smaller models may struggle with multi-step tool use.

LM Studio: Settings → Integrations → MCP → Add Server → paste https://utilify.io/mcp. LM Studio auto-detects Streamable HTTP transport.

llama.cpp built-in web UI (as of March 2026): launch llama-server with --mcp https://utilify.io/mcp. Tools appear in the agent loop automatically.

Continue.dev in your code editor: add this to .continue/mcpServers/utilify.yaml in your workspace:

name: utilify
command: npx
args: ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://utilify.io/mcp"]

OpenHands, CrewAI, AutoGen, LangChain: use mcp-remote or each framework's MCP adapter to connect to https://utilify.io/mcp. No API key required.

ChatGPT Custom GPT / Zapier / OpenAPI tools

Not using MCP? Utilify also publishes an OpenAPI 3.1 spec:

https://utilify.io/openapi.json

Paste that URL into ChatGPT's Custom GPT Actions, a Zapier webhook, Make.com, LangChain, or any OpenAPI-aware integration. Read-only endpoints require no auth. For signup flows, redirect users to https://utilify.io/zip/{zip}.

Tools exposed

Tool	Description

Coverage

• Geographic: Texas only — 4,844 ZIP codes across Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and hundreds of smaller cities. Non-Texas requests return a coverage-request form.
• Utility types: electricity, internet, natural gas, water, trash, home security.
• Data freshness: plans updated weekly. Internet availability verified against FCC Broadband Data Collection.

How signups work

When your agent calls initiate_signup, Utilify returns a short redirect URL (https://utilify.io/go/{planId}?zip={zip}) for the user to open in their browser. The redirect carries affiliate-tracking parameters on our end and lands the user on the provider's official signup page, where they complete enrollment directly with the provider. Utilify earns a referral commission on completed signups — we never touch the user's payment info or credentials.

Plans are ranked by price, not by commission rate. We do not sell user data.

Fair use

• No API key or rate limit today. Cache tool responses client-side when you can — most data updates weekly.
• Do not construct /go/{planId} URLs yourself — always call initiate_signup so the click is properly tracked and disclosed.
• If your product adds material volume, email [email protected] so we can provision capacity.
