Common questions

Is Tidegap safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, TIDEGAP_EIA_API_KEY, TIDEGAP_ENTSOE_SECURITY_TOKEN, WATTTIME_PASSWORD, TIDEGAP_ELECTRICITY_MAPS_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (0.21.0) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

@tidegap/mcp

Renamed from @ebb-ai/mcp in 0.18.0. Use the host config key tidegap and npx -y @tidegap/mcp; the ebb-mcp bin and the EBB_* variables were removed in 0.19. See Renamed from Ebb AI.

MCP server that lets your agent run non-urgent LLM tasks at the cleanest grid hour before a deadline.

Add it to any MCP host. When a user says "do this tonight" or "by tomorrow", the agent calls schedule_task. Tidegap then runs the task at the lowest-carbon grid hour before the deadline, and through the provider Batch API when the deadline allows.

12 MCP tools (measured), among them recommend_window, schedule_task, check_queue_status, get_grid_forecast, cancel_task, postpone_task, update_deadline.
Live 72-hour forecast. GB needs no key; other regions use free keys (EIA, ENTSO-E, WattTime, Electricity Maps).
One signed carbon receipt per task, stored in ~/.tidegap/queue.db.

npx -y @tidegap/mcp

{ "mcpServers": {

"tidegap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@tidegap/mcp"] } } }

Proof: one real GB run, 2026-09-30. Forecast peak 183 gCO2/kWh vs recommended window 88 gCO2/kWh, about 52 % lower for this run only (forecast, projected). Receipt at dispatch: 158 gCO2/kWh (measured). Host-specific configs: https://www.tidegap.com/docs#install

Run

npx -y @tidegap/mcp

The server speaks MCP over stdio. To wire it into an agent client:

Tools exposed (12, measured)

Tool	Purpose
`schedule_task(... repeat?, every_hours?, days?, window?, time_zone?)` with `repeat` `daily`, `weekdays`, `weekly` or `every_n_hours`	Create a recurring job: each run is a new task at the cleanest hour of its period. End it with `cancel_task(series: true)`.
`get_grid_forecast(region, hours?)`	Hour-by-hour carbon intensity for a region; useful before deciding whether to defer.
`recommend_window(deadline, region?, ...)`	Plan the cleanest window inside the deadline without queueing anything.
`schedule_task(prompt, deadline, model?, region?, carbon_budget_g?, repeat?, origin_session_id?, not_before?)`	Queue a task to run in the cleanest window inside the deadline. Returns a task_id and one line that says whether it will run: `Runs at local.`, or the readiness sentence with its fix, for example Tasks will not run: no tick daemon. Run `tidegap install`.. `not_before` sets the earliest start. `repeat` defaults to `none`, also for `deadline_kind: "quota_reset"`.
`schedule_task(... llm_timeout?)`	The run's time limit, or each job run's: a duration from 1s to 7d (`45m`, `2h`) or `none`; `0` is refused. Without it the user's setting (`tidegap limits`) or the built-in default applies. `check_queue_status` with a `task_id` prints `time_limits:` with each source. See Run limits.
`schedule_task(... retries?, retry_delay?)`	How a failed run is tried again: `retries` 0 to 10 (`0` runs it once), `retry_delay` a duration that doubles for each later retry. Without them the user's setting or one retry after 30 minutes applies; a permanent failure never retries, and only the final outcome notifies. `check_queue_status` prints `retries:` and one `attempt_ :` line per failed attempt. See Retries.
`schedule_task(... runner?, cwd?, permission_profile?, result_path?, wake_session?)`	Hand off the work shape: `runner` is another name for `provider`; `cwd` is the folder a `claude-code` run works in (another folder than the session's runs fresh there); `permission_profile` is `read`, `web` or `none` (`read` with a `cwd`); `result_path` is a new file Tidegap writes the result text to, inside `cwd`, the session's project folder or the temp folder. `wake_session: true` wakes the idle Claude Code session that queued the task when it finishes (within 12 hours after its last turn; refused outside a session). `runner` or `provider` `command` is refused with the `tidegap queue add --runner command` line. `output_path` follows the same folder rules.
`check_queue_status(task_id?)`	Inspect the queue or one specific task; includes a carbon receipt once the task has completed.
`cancel_task(task_id, series?)`	Cancel a queued or scheduled task; on a repeating task, skip it, or end the series with `series: true`.
`reply_task(task_id, text, deadline?)`	Continue a completed task: a new task with the conversation plus this text, same provider and model.
`expedite_task(task_id)`	Dispatch a queued or scheduled task now, outside its carbon window.
`postpone_task(task_id, preset? \	until? \	delay_minutes?, reset_at?)`	"Later": move a pending task later, never earlier. Presets `1h`, `tonight` (22:00 to 06:00), `tomorrow_morning` (09:00 to 12:00), `after_limit_reset` (5 minutes after the Claude limit reset: `reset_at`, else this machine's limit reading, else a reset time given before).
`update_deadline(task_id, deadline)`	Reschedule a task against a new deadline.
`retry_task(task_id)`	Run a failed task again as attempt 1 of a new count: now with the provider's key in the server env; a `command` or `claude-code` task, or one without a key here, on the next `tidegap tick`.
`cancel_all(status?)`	Cancel every task that is still queued or scheduled.
`tidegap_usage(include_spend?)`	Read-only: the Claude Code subscription limits of this machine and when they reset, and the Codex limits from its local logs. `include_spend` adds the current 5-hour window's tokens and an API list-price cost estimate.

Environment variables

These variables configure this MCP server (and the tidegap CLI, which reads the same set). They are read at the server's own entry point and injected into @tidegap/core, which is environment-pure and reads nothing ambient itself.

OpenClaw plugin users: the @vitalini/tidegap OpenClaw plugin reads no

environment variables. Configure it through plugin config instead, under

plugins.entries.tidegap.config in your gateway config — the "Plugin config"

column below names the field that replaces each variable. OpenClaw resolves

the "${ENV_VAR}" shorthand in those fields, so you can keep exporting the

same variables and let the gateway read them on the plugin's behalf.

Var	Plugin config	Purpose
`TIDEGAP_ELECTRICITY_MAPS_API_KEY`	`electricityMapsApiKey`	API key from electricitymaps.com. Universal fallback. If unset (and no zone-specific feed is configured), the server falls back to deterministic mock data so you can still run the whole stack locally.
`TIDEGAP_EIA_API_KEY`	`eiaApiKey`	Free US EIA key. Enables average-emissions intensity for the US ISO zones (CAISO / ERCOT / ISO-NE / NYISO / PJM / MISO).
`TIDEGAP_ENTSOE_SECURITY_TOKEN`	`entsoeSecurityToken`	Free ENTSO-E token. Enables EU zone intensity (FR / DE / ES / IT / NL).
`WATTTIME_USERNAME` + `WATTTIME_PASSWORD`	`wattTimeUsername` + `wattTimePassword`	Free WattTime v3 account. Enables marginal-emissions (co2_moer) forecasts for the US ISO zones — takes precedence over EIA where covered, falls through to EIA on any error. The marginal signal is disclosed as `signalType: "marginal"` on forecasts and receipts.
`TIDEGAP_DEFAULT_REGION`	`defaultRegion`	Region when a tool call names none. Beats the stored region setting; see Grid region.
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`	`anthropicApiKey`	Enables the `anthropic` provider (batch-capable).
`OPENAI_API_KEY`	`openaiApiKey`	Enables the `openai` provider (batch-capable).
`GEMINI_API_KEY` / `GOOGLE_API_KEY`	`geminiApiKey` / `googleApiKey`	Enables the `gemini` provider (Generative Language API, sync-only). `GEMINI_API_KEY` is preferred; `GOOGLE_API_KEY` is the fallback.
`OLLAMA_HOST`	`ollamaHost`	Enables the local `ollama` provider (sync-only). Default `http://localhost:11434`; keyless — set this var to opt the provider in.

Grid region

The server resolves the region of each tool call in this order:

the tool call's region argument,
TIDEGAP_DEFAULT_REGION in the server's environment (the agent host's MCP config),
the region setting stored on this machine: tidegap region set , or Settings → Grid region in tidegap ui and the Mac app (key TIDEGAP_DEFAULT_REGION in ~/.tidegap/config),
a guess from the machine's time zone,
GB.

The server reads the setting again when the file changes, so a new setting applies on the next tool call with no restart. A stored value that is not a supported zone is ignored, with one stderr warning per change. schedule_task replies carry region_source: flag | env | setting | timezone | fallback.

A region argument must be one of the 31 supported zones (any case). Another value is rejected with the closest zones and a link to request a region, for example Unknown zone UA. Closest: PL. Request a region: . With TIDEGAP_ELECTRICITY_MAPS_API_KEY set, any zone passes, because Electricity Maps serves zones beyond the list; with TIDEGAP_ENTSOE_SECURITY_TOKEN set, IT passes too.
