TronRelic runs a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. MCP is the standard way AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code connect to outside data. Once you add TronRelic's server, your assistant can look up TRON energy rental prices and market activity for you while it answers, using the same data shown on Resource Markets.

The market tools are free and need no account or API key. A free TronRelic account unlocks more tools. Every tool available to the public only reads data, so nothing you do through it can change anything on TronRelic or on the TRON network.

Server address

https://tronrelic.com/mcp

The server uses MCP's Streamable HTTP transport. One address serves everyone: the free tools work straight away, and your assistant asks you to sign in only when you use a tool that needs an account.

What you can ask

Two tools work without an account.

Tool	What it answers
resource-markets-get-prices	What each tracked energy rental market advertises: which market is cheapest for a given order, price ranges, open orderbooks, one market's full rate card and price history, and what markets pay TRX holders who supply energy
resource-markets-get-activity	What the markets actually did on chain: TRX paid by renters, energy delivered, the price renters really paid, how many payments were served, how fast deliveries arrived, and daily totals

You do not need to name the tools. Ask in plain language and the assistant picks the right one. For example:

• "Which TRON energy market is cheapest for 10 USDT transfers right now?"
• "Which rental markets were busiest this week, and what did renters actually pay?"
• "Show me CatFee's rate card and how its price has moved."
• "Are any energy markets taking payments without delivering?"

Prices change during the day. Every result says when its data was captured, and a good assistant will tell you that time when it quotes a price.

More tools with a free account

Signing in with a free TronRelic account adds more tools, such as searching and reading TronRelic's blog posts and guides. Your assistant lists these tools even before you sign in, marked as needing an account. The first time you use one, it opens a TronRelic sign-in page; after that the connection stays signed in. You can disconnect the app at any time from your account.

Signing in currently works from Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code). Other assistants can use the free tools without signing in.

Add it to your assistant

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

1. Open Settings, then Connectors.
2. Choose Add custom connector.
3. Name it TronRelic and paste the server address above.
4. Under authentication, choose Sign in when needed. Claude may pick "No sign-in" on its own; change it, or the account tools will not work.
5. If Claude asks how it should identify itself, choose Use Claude's published identity, then save.

Claude Code

Run this in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http tronrelic https://tronrelic.com/mcp

To sign in, type /mcp inside Claude Code and choose TronRelic.

ChatGPT

On plans that offer it, turn on developer mode in ChatGPT's settings on the web, create a new connector or app, paste the server address, and choose no authentication.

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to .cursor/mcp.json in a project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tronrelic": {
      "url": "https://tronrelic.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "tronrelic": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://tronrelic.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Other MCP clients work the same way: give them the server address and no authentication.

Limits

To keep the service free for everyone, calls are limited per minute and per day. Without an account, limits are counted per network rather than per person, so people on the same office or home network share one allowance. If you connect through a web-based assistant such as claude.ai or ChatGPT without signing in, its calls come from the provider's own servers, so you share an allowance with other people using that provider. When you are signed in, your calls count against your own allowance instead.

When a limit is reached, the call is refused with a message naming the limit. Wait a while and ask again.

For developers

The server publishes a machine-readable Server Card describing itself, and lists it in the site's AI Catalog at https://tronrelic.com/.well-known/ai-catalog.json. Tool descriptions and input schemas come from the server itself through the standard tools/list request. Sign-in uses OAuth 2.1, and the server advertises its authorization details at https://tronrelic.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp.

Privacy and terms

TronRelic does not need to know who you are to answer the free tools. For each call without an account it records a one-way hash of your network range (never your full IP address in the usage records), the name your app reports for itself, which tool was called, and whether it succeeded. When you are signed in, the call is recorded against your account instead of a network hash. An audit log, kept for 90 days, also stores the request and the address it came from, for abuse prevention. The Privacy Policy explains what is kept and for how long, and use of the server is covered by the Terms of Use.

Nothing on TronRelic is financial advice; see Disclosures.
