# EIA Full Access MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > EIA Full Access MCP provides a direct line to U.S. Energy Information Administration data. It gives your AI agent access to 34 different tools covering petroleum, electricity, natural gas, coal, and long-term energy forecasts. Instead of jumping between different government reports, you can pull real-time grid demand, refinery capacity, Henry Hub prices, and state-level energy profiles in one place. It's the fastest way to get federal energy intelligence into your workflow. ## Overview - **Category:** the-unthinkable - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_ciPVawQb40lVn8rwf7hFU5ppjCv2uteso5ouSI3E/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** energy-intelligence, petroleum-data, natural-gas, energy-forecasts, commodity-market, macro-energy ## Description EIA Full Access MCP provides a direct line to U.S. Energy Information Administration data. Imagine you're trying to build a report on why electricity prices are spiking in the Midwest. Usually, that means opening five different tabs, hunting for the right PDF from the federal government, and manually scraping numbers for grid demand and generation costs. With this Connector, you just ask your agent to do the heavy lifting. It pulls the latest data on refinery utilization, natural gas storage levels, and coal production across different states simultaneously. You get a clear picture of the energy landscape without the manual data entry. Because Vinkius makes it so easy to connect these types of tools, you can move from a high-level question about U.S. energy trends to specific data points on refinery operations or nuclear outages in seconds. It's built for anyone who needs to move past what happened and into what's happening right now with federal data. ## Tools ### get_coal_trade Get coal import and export data by country, quantity, and price.
