    How to connect Tern EV-Charging Analytics to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://tern-mcp-537572042041.europe-west4.run.app/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect Tern EV-Charging Analytics to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://tern-mcp-537572042041.europe-west4.run.app/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).

    Server tool list (26)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    search_charging_stationsFind charging stations in one country by structured filter — id, title, address, operator. The reply is the API payload inline: station ids, titles, addresses and operators, which is what the claim tools take as site_id and station_id.
    nearby_charging_stationsList the charging stations within a radius of a point, nearest first. The radius is in kilometres and at most 10; the reply is the API payload inline. This is how a site's competitors are found before any claim is read.
    list_evsesList the individual EVSEs (connectors) of up to 20 stations, with their capacity in kW. Stall counts and capacity bands come from here rather than from a station record.
    aggregate_charging_utilizationStation-level utilization aggregated over a GeoJSON area and a date window of at most 92 days, optionally filtered to a capacity band (default 150 kW = HPC; pass 100 for fast charging). The reply is one row per station, so it reads an area without pulling any station's daily rows.
    aggregate_evse_utilizationEVSE-level utilization aggregated over a GeoJSON area and a date window of at most 92 days, optionally filtered to a capacity band. The per-connector counterpart of aggregate_charging_utilization.
    area_benchmarkHow hard is each EVSE at this site working compared with the area around it? Reads the area_benchmark claim for one site and returns only its result: the status the claim decided from its own observations (computed or insufficient), the typed result, and the display a deliverable would print. The observations behind it are pulled into a scratch directory that is deleted before the call returns, so the rows never enter the conversation and nothing is left on the server to read back later — this call is the whole reading.
