EIA Full Access MCP. Model complex U.S. energy system interactions.

This MCP Server gives your AI client straight access to the massive dataset from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), letting you cut through all the PDFs and junk data out there. You don't have to stitch together information from dozens of places; you just ask, and your agent pulls complex relationships across every major energy sector.

Petroleum Markets: Tracking Oil & Products

You can get a full picture of oil supply and demand using get_petroleum_summary, which calculates the total balance by pulling together production, imports, exports, stocks, and consumption data. For specific pricing, use get_petroleum_prices to check costs for WTI, Brent, gasoline, diesel, and heating oil. You'll also find import details with get_crude_imports, which sources crude oil movement by country, company, type, and grade, and tracks general commodity movements using get_petroleum_trade.

When you need to know how much oil is stored up, use get_petroleum_stocks to monitor the total volume of stored petroleum, including commercial reserves plus the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. To track current U.S. crude output and reserve estimates, pull data with get_crude_production, and for a detailed look at sales figures by product type and industry sector, use get_petroleum_consumption.

Natural Gas: Monitoring Storage & Pricing

Understanding natural gas requires checking several points. You can monitor the key market indicator—weekly underground storage levels—with get_natgas_storage, which tracks the supply that dictates trading volatility. For price movements, use get_natgas_prices to pull Henry Hub spot prices, citygate rates, wellhead figures, and industrial/residential rates. To get a complete overview of gas balance, run get_natgas_summary; this tool delivers total production, consumption, imports, exports, and storage changes for the entire sector.

You'll find details on how much natural gas is produced using get_natgas_production, while proving reserves and exploration metrics come from get_natgas_reserves. For tracking movement across borders, use get_natgas_trade to see imports, exports, and major pipeline flows. Finally, you can show where the consumption is happening by checking volumes by sector with get_natgas_consumption, or seeing how much gas leaves the country using get_natgas_trade.

Electricity & Power Generation: Mapping the Grid

Need to know what's powering the grid? You can get real-time hourly and daily electric grid demand data for all major U.S. operators via get_grid_demand. To track supply capacity, list every operable power generator using get_generator_inventory, which covers over 100,000 units. For state-specific insight, you can retrieve retail electricity prices by state and sector with get_electricity_prices (sourced from EIA-826 and EIA-861 reports), and pull comprehensive state profiles—including power mix and usage patterns—with get_state_electricity_profiles.

To see how individual plants are running, use get_plant_generation, which reports net generation (MWh) and heat rates. You can also source electric power data by state, sector, and fuel type using get_power_generation (EIA-923), or get a full operational picture of the industry with get_refinery_operations, which provides utilization rates for refineries.

Coal: Mining & Market Deep Dive

Analyzing coal requires digging deep into specific metrics. You can check current coal reserves and productive capacity estimates using get_coal_reserves. For production data, use get_coal_production to see volumes broken down by state, mine type, and resource rank, or get individual output records from mines with get_mine_production (EIA-7A and MSHA). Specific market pricing is available through get_coal_prices, which details prices by rank, region, and mine type—including bituminous and lignite breakdowns.

When you need to know about the coal itself, get_coal_quality provides specific metrics on heat content, sulfur, and ash levels. Tracking international trade flows for coal is simple with get_coal_trade, which lists imports and exports by country, volume, and price.

State & Global Intelligence: Big Picture View

For the biggest picture, use get_total_energy to get a comprehensive U.S. total energy overview (MER) across all sources. When you need historical context or granular state data, run get_state_energy_data; this is your primary source for state-level records covering production, consumption, prices, and expenditures from 1960 onward. If you're looking beyond U.S. borders, get_international_data provides energy metrics at a country level worldwide, while get_international_outlook gives global energy projections (IEO) by region and fuel type.

For long-term planning, run the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) via get_annual_outlook, which offers 30-year U.S. energy projections for prices, production, and consumption. To forecast immediate changes in price and supply, check out the STEO forecast using get_short_term_outlook, delivering 18-month U.S. energy price and supply projections published monthly by EIA.
