How to Use the EIA Petroleum — Oil Market Intelligence MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use the EIA Petroleum — Oil Market Intelligence server to trace price spikes?

Cascade queries getpetroleumprices to pull current WTI or Brent spot prices. It then automatically checks getpetroleumstocks to see if low SPR levels are driving the market up.

Q: Does this MCP Server let Windsurf analyze crude import origins?

It does. The server exposes getcrudeimports, which allows Cascade to pull import volumes by country and company to map supply chains.

Q: How do I configure this MCP Server in my Windsurf workspace?

Add the server configuration to your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file under the mcpServers key. Cascade will immediately discover the tools and start calling them when you ask about oil data.

Give Windsurf the raw oil market data it needs to autonomously map energy trends and trace supply bottlenecks.

Chain inventory and price analysis in Windsurf

Cascade can automatically query `get_petroleum_stocks` to check current SPR levels and then immediately pull the latest WTI benchmarks via `get_petroleum_prices`. Instead of you prompting each step, your agent hooks into this MCP Server to find out if inventory draws are driving the latest crude price spikes. It doesn't stop at raw pricing. Windsurf uses the tool output to flag when commercial inventories drop below historical averages, giving you immediate context on market tightness.

Track refinery run rates and trade flows

When you ask Cascade to analyze domestic fuel supply, it runs `get_refinery_operations` to check capacity runs alongside `get_petroleum_trade` to track net movements. The agent connects these data points to show you if refinery bottlenecks are keeping retail gasoline high despite steady domestic drilling. Your agent handles the multi-step logic of pulling import data from `get_crude_imports` and comparing it with refinery runs. You get a clear picture of crude processing speed without writing a single API wrapper.

Build live energy reports with this MCP Server

Feed your agent a goal to summarize weekly supply dynamics and watch it call `get_petroleum_summary` to pull the latest EIA status report. Cascade parses the production, stock, and demand figures in one go to draft your team's market update. This MCP Server exposes raw EIA metrics directly to your workspace. Your agent pulls `get_crude_production` and `get_petroleum_consumption` to calculate domestic balances, saving you from manual spreadsheet work.
