Japan JEPX Electricity Spot Price MCP

MCP server exposing Japanese wholesale electricity spot prices from JEPX (Japan Electric Power Exchange) — the system (nationwide) price plus 9 regional area prices at 30-minute granularity (48 periods/day), in JPY/kWh.

Data source: JEPX spot settlement prices (Government Standard Terms of Use), with OCCTO area-price forecast for regional deltas. A bundled seed cache (data/jepx_spot.json, ~400 days × 48 periods = 19,200 records) guarantees offline/fallback answers; a live fetch to JEPX.org is attempted and gracefully falls back to the seed when the site is IP-restricted.

Output sample

{  "date": "2026-09-17",  "area": "tokyo",  "area_label": "東京 (Tokyo)",  "price": 15.24,  "unit": "JPY/kWh",  "period": 48}
