aid: kraken-technologies url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/kraken-technologies/refs/heads/main/apis.yml name: Kraken Technologies kind: company description: >- Kraken Technologies is the United Kingdom energy technology company behind Kraken, the licensed cloud operating system for utilities. Founded in 2016 inside Octopus Energy and spun out as an independent business, Kraken says it supports more than 90 million customer accounts for licensees including E.ON Next, EDF, Origin, Tokyo Gas, National Grid, Good Energy, Plenitude, Energy Queensland, Essential Energy, Portsmouth Water and TalkTalk across electricity, gas, water and broadband. It sits one layer behind the utility rather than in front of the consumer: it does not hold a supply licence, does not settle in the wholesale market and does not publish grid or market data, so the retailers and networks it powers carry the regulatory obligations, not Kraken. Its API posture matches that position and is honestly closed. The Open Kraken programme publicly advertises APIs, events, embedded apps, Flow automation and an MCP-based AI access layer, but every reference surface is gated: docs.kraken.tech forces SSO login on every path, no base URL or endpoint is published anywhere, the Tako design-system package requires a private npm token issued by email, and the Marketplace runs under signed access-and-use terms. There is no self-serve developer signup, no consumer data-portability API of its own, and no open market data. image: https://www.kraken.tech/favicon-96x96.png tags: - Energy - United Kingdom - Utilities - Electricity - Gas - Smart Metering - Demand Response - DER - Billing - Energy Platform created: '2026-07-27' modified: '2026-07-27' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: kraken-technologies:open-kraken-apis-and-events name: Open Kraken APIs and Events description: >- Open Kraken is the integration layer of the Kraken utility operating system. Kraken publicly describes it as "APIs, events and MCP" for building apps and experiences against data and capabilities inside Kraken and for bringing data in from a licensee's own apps and third-party tools, alongside the Flow drag-and-drop automation tool and Embedded Apps that render inside the Kraken agent desktop. No base URL, endpoint list, authentication scheme or machine-readable contract is published anywhere on the public web. The reference documentation at docs.kraken.tech returns an SSO login wall on every path probed on 2026-07-27, including /openapi.json, /llms.txt and /.well-known/openid-configuration, each of which redirects to /auth/login/ and serves text/html rather than a spec. Access is available only to Kraken licensees and contracted partners. humanURL: https://www.kraken.tech/open-kraken tags: - Energy - Utilities - Integration - Events - Embedded Apps properties: - type: Documentation url: https://www.kraken.tech/open-kraken - type: Documentation url: https://docs.kraken.tech/ - type: ChangeLog url: https://www.kraken.tech/product-updates - type: Authentication url: authentication/kraken-technologies-authentication.yml - type: Conventions url: conventions/kraken-technologies-conventions.yml - type: SourceCode url: https://github.com/kraken-tech/kraken-apps-examples - aid: kraken-technologies:open-kraken-ai-access-layer-mcp name: Open Kraken AI Access Layer (MCP) description: >- An AI access layer that Kraken announced as an expansion of Open Kraken, built using the Model Context Protocol and described as MCP gateways that let a utility's own AI agents orchestrate approved actions across Kraken, with fair use included. Kraken states the layer is being gradually released. No MCP server URL, tool list, scope model or transport is published; a probe of mcp.kraken.tech on 2026-07-27 did not resolve. MCP is the only protocol Kraken names for this surface, and it is an agent-integration protocol rather than an energy data standard. humanURL: https://www.kraken.tech/open-kraken tags: - Energy - MCP - AI Agents - Utilities properties: - type: Documentation url: https://www.kraken.tech/open-kraken - type: Announcement url: https://www.kraken.tech/press-releases/kraken-expands-open-kraken-with-ai-access-layer-and-marketplace - type: Documentation url: https://docs.kraken.tech/ - type: MCPServer url: mcp/kraken-technologies-mcp.yml common: - type: DomainSecurity url: security/kraken-technologies-domain-security.yml - type: Authentication url: authentication/kraken-technologies-authentication.yml - type: Conventions url: conventions/kraken-technologies-conventions.yml - type: Components url: components/kraken-technologies-components.yml - type: Packages url: packages/kraken-technologies-packages.yml - type: MCPServer url: mcp/kraken-technologies-mcp.yml - type: LLMsTxt url: llms/kraken-technologies-llms.txt - type: Conformance url: conformance/kraken-technologies-conformance.yml - type: Compliance url: https://www.kraken.tech/legal/trust-center - type: Lifecycle url: lifecycle/kraken-technologies-lifecycle.yml - type: ChangeLog url: changelog/kraken-technologies-changelog.yml - type: Security url: https://www.kraken.tech/vulnerability-disclosure-process - type: Website url: https://www.kraken.tech/ - type: Documentation url: https://docs.kraken.tech/ - type: DesignSystem url: https://tako.kraken.tech/ - type: SDK url: https://github.com/kraken-tech/kraken-apps-examples - type: GitHubOrganization url: https://github.com/kraken-tech - type: GitHubOrganization url: https://github.com/octoenergy - type: LinkedIn url: https://www.linkedin.com/company/krakentech/ - type: Blog url: https://www.kraken.tech/insights - type: PressReleases url: https://www.kraken.tech/press-releases - type: ChangeLog url: https://www.kraken.tech/product-updates - type: Partners url: https://www.kraken.tech/marketplace - type: PartnerProgram url: https://www.kraken.tech/bpo-partner-program - type: VulnerabilityDisclosure url: https://www.kraken.tech/vulnerability-disclosure-process - type: VulnerabilityDisclosure url: security/kraken-technologies-vulnerability-disclosure.yml - type: TrustCenter url: https://www.kraken.tech/legal/trust-center - type: TrustCenter url: security/kraken-technologies-trust-center.yml - type: Support url: https://support.kraken.tech/ - type: Legal url: https://www.kraken.tech/legal - type: Subprocessors url: https://www.kraken.tech/legal/subprocessors - type: DataProcessingAgreement url: https://www.kraken.tech/legal/dpa - type: TermsOfService url: https://www.kraken.tech/legal/marketplace-access-and-use-terms - type: PrivacyPolicy url: https://www.kraken.tech/legal/privacy-notice maintainers: - FN: Kin Lane email: kin@apievangelist.com
