PSS/E MCP servers and AI agent skills

PSS/E has no dedicated MCP server yet. The PowerMCP collection includes a PSS/E server that runs on the same Windows machine through psspy: it opens and solves cases, reads dynamic-simulation output and can call most psspy functions by name, which makes it thin but broad. A companion PowerSkills pack guides the agent through PSS/E base cases. Siemens's own AI offer is the PSS/E Copilot, a separate assistant rather than an MCP server.

How AI connects to PSS/E

An MCP server or skill can only do what PSS/E lets programs do. PSS/E exposes 2 automation interfaces:

  • psspy Python API (Python): Siemens describes PSS/E automation as more than 2,000 open Python APIs, reached through the psspy module that ships in each PSS/E installation (for example under PSSE36\36.2\PSSPY311). The API reference is installed with the software rather than published online. Because the API is so large, MCP servers either wrap a few common calls or expose a generic "call psspy function X" tool backed by a searchable index of the reference, as PowerMCP does. Documentation
  • Case and contingency files (Input files): Network data moves between PSS/E and other tools as .raw and .sav cases, with contingency definitions in .con, .mon and .sub files; PowerMCP ships an example set built on the savnw case. Its PowerIO layer reads and writes .raw cases on its own, so a PSS/E network can be converted for pandapower, PyPSA or ANDES without PSS/E installed, which is useful for cross-checking a solution.

What Siemens offers

Siemens offers the Gridscale X PSS/E Copilot, a pilot SaaS add-on with a Windows front end and a Siemens cloud LLM back end. It answers PSS/E questions in natural language and returns ready-to-run Python scripts that execute locally against PSS/E 35, 36 or 37; simulation output is uploaded only if you choose to. Its product sheet, effective 22 May 2026, doesn't mention MCP, and Siemens publishes no PSS/E MCP server.

What you can do with PSS/E and AI

  • Open a .sav case and solve the Newton-Raphson power flow on a licensed PSS/E 35 or newer, then report the solution status.
  • Look up and run individual psspy functions by name, for example to change a load or switch a branch, with commands that load external code blocked.
  • Read channels from a dynamic-simulation .out or .outx file and summarise the time series, with downsampling for long runs.
  • Convert a PSS/E .raw case into pandapower or PyPSA through PowerIO to cross-check results in an open tool.
  • Follow a load, inspect, solve, then escalate order for PSS/E studies using the PowerSkills PSS/E skill.

Installing

The listings here document setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI and Cursor. Install steps, copied from each project's own documentation, are on each listing's page. Most PSS/E integrations run on your own computer next to PSS/E, so you need PSS/E installed and licensed on the same machine unless the listing says otherwise.

Questions

Is there an official PSS/E MCP server?

No. Siemens's AI product for PSS/E is the Gridscale X PSS/E Copilot, a separate Windows app with a cloud back end that writes psspy scripts for you. The only MCP route is the community PowerMCP server.

Can Claude run PSS/E studies?

Yes, with PowerMCP installed on the PSS/E machine and its psse.python_lib path pointed at your PSSPY folder. Claude can then open and solve cases and call psspy functions; contingency and dynamic runs go through the generic psspy tool rather than dedicated tools.

Which PSS/E versions work with PowerMCP?

Its PSS/E README asks for PSS/E 35 or newer with the Python 3 psspy API. The configuration example points at PSS/E 36.2 with Python 3.11.

Do I need a PSS/E licence to convert .raw files?

Not for conversion. PowerMCP's PowerIO server parses .raw cases on its own, so you can move a case into pandapower or PyPSA without PSS/E. Solving in PSS/E itself needs your licensed install.

AI-generated models, drawings and results must be checked by a qualified engineer before use.
