Map 30-Year U.S. Projections in Claude Desktop

Stop copying and pasting massive energy tables from PDF reports. This MCP Server lets your local Claude Desktop app run `get_annual_outlook` to pull 30-year U.S. energy projections directly into your workspace. You get immediate access to reference cases and side cases modeled by the National Energy Modeling System. Your agent uses this data to write reports, calculate future emissions, or compare production scenarios. Because Claude Desktop runs this tool as a local subprocess via stdio transport, you get these multi-decade projections instantly without manual lookups.

Track 18-Month Price Volatility and Short-Term Supply

Analyzing monthly market conditions requires the latest `get_short_term_outlook` projections. When you ask Claude Desktop about near-term fuel trends, it fetches price and supply projections spanning from 1974 out to 2027. This means your agent can plot price curves or analyze supply shocks using the actual numbers published by the EIA. You don't have to guess if your market intelligence is stale because your browser-based custom connector pulls the live endpoint data directly into your active thread.

Analyze Global Fuel Consumption Across Regions

Expanding your analysis beyond the U.S. requires retrieving `get_international_outlook` and `get_international_data` metrics. By connecting this MCP Server to your setup, you can retrieve global production, consumption, and emissions figures broken down by country or specific fuel type. You can ask your agent to compare regional decarbonization rates or evaluate global supply chains. The server delivers raw, structured numbers that Claude parses into clean tables or markdown charts right inside your chat window.
