Open-source engines run without extra software: pandapower and PyPSA come with the base install, and OpenDSS, ANDES, Egret, surge, HOPE, GenX and LTspice are opt-in extras.
Commercial tools are reached through their own Python or COM interfaces: psspy for PSS/E (open and solve a case, plus a guarded call to any listed psspy function), Easy SimAuto for a running PowerWorld Simulator (power flow, N-1/N-2, PTDF, LODF, Jacobian), and the PowerFactory Python module (load flow, short circuit, contingency, RMS simulation, adding equipment, PDF export).
The PSCAD server attaches to or launches PSCAD through mhi.pscad, edits component parameters, runs projects and simulation sets, and parses .psout/.out results, with a 30-second watchdog for a frozen or modal PSCAD.
A shared PowerIO case format converts networks between tools, so a PSS/E .raw case can be loaded into pandapower, PyPSA, ANDES or Egret, or written out for OpenDSS.
An interactive installer picks tools, records local install paths and writes the client configuration for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Codex CLI.

Wrapper depth differs a lot by tool: PowerFactory, PSCAD and OpenDSS have broad tool sets, the PSS/E server has a handful of named tools plus a generic psspy call, and PyPSA lists many functions (transformers, links, time series) as future work.
Commercial tools need their own licensed install on the same machine; PowerWorld must already be running, and PSCAD and PowerFactory automation are Windows-only.
Marked Alpha on PyPI (0.4.x), with no release tags in the repository.

pip install powermcp
powermcp install        # pick tools, capture local paths, write your MCP client config

pip install powermcp[psse]              # add PSS/E support
powermcp config set psse.python_lib "C:\Program Files\PTI\PSSE36\36.2\PSSPY311"
