Integrations with Cloud API, Local API, and MCP

Choose how you want to connect to your charger: via the internet with our Cloud API, directly on your local network with the Local API, or from your favorite artificial intelligence assistant with MCP.

CHOOSE YOUR CONNECTION METHOD

Access your charger’s data and functions over the internet via a REST API. You will need a V2C Cloud account and an access token.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Learn more about the three integration methods.

Cloud API

REST API over the internet. Requires a V2C Cloud account and an access token.

For whom: developers looking to create applications or remote automations.

Local API

Direct communication with the charger on your local network (Modbus RTU/TCP or HTTP Request, depending on the model), without relying on the cloud.

For whom: installers and integrators of home automation or SCADA systems.

MCP

Connect your charger directly to your favorite AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok).

For whom: early adopters who want to control their charging by talking to their AI.

MCP

Your charger, within your AI assistant.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that connects artificial intelligence assistants with real services —the equivalent of USB-C for AI—. With V2C MCP, your assistant stops “knowing things about chargers” in general and starts to see your charger, your data, and performs actions in real time.

Try it with phrases like

  • “Is my car charging right now?”
  • “Lock the charger”
  • “Create a new charging profile”
  • “Limit the current to 16 A”
  • “How much have I saved with solar panels?”

Security

Access is authorized via OAuth 2.0 with your V2C Cloud account: you log in at v2c.cloud, never in the chat, and the AI only receives a limited and revocable token. You can revoke access whenever you want, from your assistant or from your account.
