How to Use the EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I configure EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence in Cursor?

Add the server configuration to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root using your Vinkius endpoint. Once saved, Cursor automatically registers the tools, allowing you to call them directly from the chat or Composer interface.

Q: Does the Cursor agent support specific coal rank queries for EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence?

Yes, the agent uses getcoalprices to retrieve specific market values for bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, and anthracite. You can ask Cursor to generate data structures based on these specific ranks.

Q: How does the editor pull individual mine metrics using this MCP?

Cursor invokes the getmineproduction tool to fetch raw tonnage data from the EIA-7A and MSHA-7000-2 databases. The agent then writes this data directly into your local workspace files or active scripts.

Inject real-time mine production, coal pricing, and quality metrics directly into your Cursor codebase.

Build energy models with live MCP Server data in Cursor

Using `get_coal_prices` inside Cursor lets you inject live pricing for bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, and anthracite directly into your active files. Writing code with outdated static files ruins your energy models. When you run Cursor in Agent mode, the editor calls `get_coal_quality` to feed real sulfur, ash, and heat content metrics into your test suites. You write code against live physical parameters instead of placeholder JSON.

Automate mine-level data pipeline development

This MCP Server lets your Cursor agent pull raw tonnage figures using `get_mine_production` to test your data pipelines as you build them. Stop writing custom scrapers for EIA-7A and MSHA-7000-2 reports. By calling `get_coal_production`, the editor populates your local databases with accurate state-level metrics. You can verify your schemas and transformations using actual industry numbers from the start.

Track reserve lifespans and trade flows inline

Cursor queries `get_coal_trade` to pull import and export volumes by country directly into your terminal or chat window. Building supply chain dashboards requires constant context switching, but this tool stops that. Your agent also uses `get_coal_reserves` to pull remaining stocks and productive capacity. You get the exact numbers needed to write and validate your resource allocation algorithms without leaving the editor.

Setup guide

Set up EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the EIA Coal & Mining — Solid Fuels Intelligence tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
