OilPrice MCP. Benchmark Prices for Oil, Gas, and Fuels.

OilPrice API - Track WTI & Brent Commodity Prices

This server gives your agent instant access to real-time and historical data for over 50 energy commodities. You're pulling live market intelligence directly into your AI workflow, making sure you don't gotta rely on old spreadsheets or slow feeds. It covers everything from crude oil benchmarks to refined fuels like diesel.

Getting Current Prices: Snapshot Data

To get a quick read on the market, you can use get_latest_prices. This single call returns the most current spot prices for every energy commodity supported by the API. Need to focus just on the big players? You've got targeted tools ready. Calling get_wti_price pulls the immediate spot price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, which is the main US benchmark.

For international tracking, use get_brent_price to get the current spot rate for Brent crude oil, a key global trading standard. You can also pull specific refined fuel pricing; just call get_diesel_price for the latest US Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) price, which is crucial if you're tracking transportation costs. If you need Natural Gas rates right now, get_natural_gas_price retrieves the Henry Hub spot price.

It’s simple—you tell your agent what commodity you want, and it gives you that live number.

Analyzing Market Movements: Time-Based Data

If current prices aren't enough, you gotta know what happened leading up to this moment. For short-term volatility, get_past_day_prices gathers hourly price data, showing exactly how commodities moved over the last 24 hours. You can check out medium-range trends too: calling get_past_week_prices provides daily closing prices for commodity movements covering seven days.

If you need a deeper dive into recent history, get_past_month_prices collects daily price data spanning the last 30 days.

For custom analysis—say, checking prices from Q2 of last year through early June—you use get_historical_prices. This function lets your agent pull detailed price records for any specific start date and end date range. Note: Using this historical tool requires the paid tier access.

Discovering What's Available: The Commodity List

Don't know what commodity codes you need? Run list_commodities. This function returns a comprehensive list of every energy product, confirming all 50+ available commodities and their unique API codes. You can then pass these exact codes to any other tool.

Putting It Together: Workflow Examples

You don't gotta run five separate calls just to analyze one week. Your agent handles that complexity for you. If you need a full picture, you might first call list_commodities to confirm the code for 'Junk Fuel'. Then, you can use get_historical_prices with that specific code and a custom date range to plot its movement.

You could follow up by calling get_latest_prices just to see where the market is standing right now compared to last Tuesday's price point.

It’s about layering data: pulling the current spot rate via get_wti_price, then running get_past_day_prices to map out the hourly swings, and finally using get_historical_prices on a custom date range for long-term context. Your agent structures this data so you can analyze market dynamics immediately, all without leaving your chat environment.
