Aedifion Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides tools for interacting with the aedifion cloud API. This server enables AI assistants (Claude, etc.) to manage building IoT data, analytics, controls, and more through the aedifion platform.

What is aedifion?

aedifion provides a cloud platform for building performance optimization. Their API offers access to:

• Building IoT data — datapoints, timeseries, setpoints
• Analytics — automated analysis functions, KPI tracking, energy efficiency monitoring
• Controls — remote building control apps
• Project management — components, tags, labels, logbooks, tasks, alerts
• Weather data — current conditions and forecasts for building locations

Authentication

The server supports two authentication methods:

1. Username/Password (recommended): Set AEDIFION_USERNAME and AEDIFION_PASSWORD. The server automatically obtains and refreshes bearer tokens via POST /v2/user/token.

2. Pre-obtained token: Set AEDIFION_TOKEN with a valid bearer token. Useful for short-lived sessions or when credentials shouldn't be stored.

Token refresh happens automatically when a 401 Unauthorized response is received.

Architecture

src/mcp_server_aedifion/
  __init__.py       # Package init
  client.py         # HTTP client with auth handling
  server.py         # MCP server with tool definitions

• client.py — Async HTTP client built on httpx. Handles Basic Auth -> bearer token exchange, automatic token refresh, and provides get/post/put/delete helpers.
• server.py — MCP server built with FastMCP. Registers 95+ tools covering all 12 API categories. Each tool maps to one or more aedifion API endpoints.
