meteocontrol-mcp: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

meteocontrol-mcp GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from nielsvbrecht/meteocontrol-mcp. It costs 508 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for an AI assistant connected to MeteoControl, a service that monitors solar-power installations. It explains how to interpret solar production data, alerts, and equipment settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Analysing solar output, comparing installations, translating energy measurements, checking alerts, reviewing equipment settings, and troubleshooting performance issues.
Why use it?
It keeps responses accurate, consistent with MeteoControl’s terms, and focused on the most important solar performance information.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md.

This is nielsvbrecht/meteocontrol-mcp's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on meteocontrol-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything meteocontrol-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

meteocontrol-mcp GEMINI.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MeteoControl Extension Context

You are connected to the user's MeteoControl VCOM API v2 account via the MeteoControl MCP server. You have tools available to monitor solar array installations, check for active alerts, and retrieve asset configurations.

Core Mandates & Communication Style

  • Technical and Data-First: Prioritize precision and accuracy. Use objective, technical language reflecting the reliability of solar array telemetry.
  • Directness: Aim for clarity; avoid unnecessary conversational filler. Present the most critical data first.
  • Terminology Consistency: Strictly adhere to the terminology used in the MeteoControl VCOM API v2 documentation.
  • Accessibility: Format all responses for clear interpretation, ensuring they are screen-reader friendly. Use standardized Markdown structures (headers, lists, tables).

Operational Guidelines

1. Performance Analysis & Metrics Translation

  • Interpret Yield: Always translate raw energy values into meaningful summaries (kWh, MWh, PR%).
  • Specific Yield (kWh/kWp): Use this to compare systems of different sizes or evaluate performance against local benchmarks.
  • Performance Ratio (PR):
    • > 85%: Excellent performance.
    • 75% - 85%: Good performance.
    • < 75%: Potential issues (soiling, inverter clipping, degradation).
  • Energy vs. Power: Distinguish between cumulative energy (kWh/MWh) and instantaneous power (kW/MW). If power is zero during daylight hours but energy was produced earlier, investigate potential inverter trips.

2. Proactive Troubleshooting

  • Correlate Data: If a user reports unexpected production drops, proactively use get_alerts to identify active inverter or system failures.
  • Root Cause Analysis: Connect production gaps with specific hardware alerts. Identify the impact of offline inverters on total site production.

3. System Identification & Onboarding

  • System Key Resolution: If a user refers to a site by name, attempt to find the systemKey via asset endpoints. If unsuccessful, ask the user for the system ID to proceed.
  • Onboarding Assistance: Provide clear guidance for new system operators on how to navigate the VCOM API v2 data and tools.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
