Team-Wide Energy Modeling with VS Code Copilot

Executing `get_annual_outlook` inside VS Code Copilot gives your entire development team immediate access to 30-year U.S. energy projections. By committing an MCP Server configuration to your repository, everyone gets the same reference cases. This setup ensures your entire team builds energy models using identical baseline data. Your agent reads the structured NEMS outputs to generate consistent, production-ready code across your whole engineering organization.

Map Short-Term Price Volatility in Your Workspace

Invoking `get_short_term_outlook` inside VS Code Copilot fetches the monthly STEO projections directly, giving you 18 months of price and supply predictions spanning from 1974 to 2027. Your developer team can use these live numbers to write, test, and debug financial forecasting scripts. The agent reads the real-time API responses to write accurate calculation logic without relying on stale spreadsheets. You never have to leave your workspace to verify market trends.

Query International Production and Emissions

Calling `get_international_outlook` and `get_international_data` pulls regional energy production, fuel consumption, and emissions metrics directly into your active VS Code Copilot workspace. By adding this MCP Server to your setup, your developers can build global compliance dashboards or supply chain trackers with real numbers. The agent automatically processes the international datasets to write clean data structures that match the official EIA schemas. This eliminates manual data entry and speeds up integration testing.
