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.'

  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.

  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.
