How to Use the U.S. EIA Energy Data MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I use U.S. EIA Energy Data to track multiple sources in Cursor?

Absolutely. You can pull data on coal (listcoalproduction) and then immediately follow up with natural gas data (listnaturalgasproduction), letting the AI write a comparison function between them.

Q: If I need regional fuel price data, how do I use U.S. EIA Energy Data in Cursor?

You call listregionalfuelprices and the agent uses that specific output to build your code's comparison logic. It’s much better than hardcoding mock numbers.

Write code that pulls live data from U.S. EIA Energy Data using Cursor.

Perplexity

Inject Live API Responses into Code

The real power here is context. You can write a function, and the AI agent will call tools like `list_coal_production` or `list_electricity_generation`. Then, it injects the actual JSON response directly into your code block. This means you're writing working examples that use live data—no stubs, no mock values.

Audit Energy Health with Cursor

Need to build a script that checks current energy health? Call `quick_us_energy_audit`. The AI uses the returned summary data and writes the logic around it for you. It's perfect for quickly prototyping reports or compliance checks right in your editor.

Build Pricing Comparison Tools

Comparing fuel costs is easy. Use `list_petroleum_prices` to get gasoline rates, and then use `list_regional_fuel_prices` to compare those numbers across different geographical regions. This lets you code out complex comparisons without needing multiple API calls manually.

Setup guide

Set up U.S. EIA Energy Data MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the U.S. EIA Energy Data MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent U.S. EIA Energy Data transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the U.S. EIA Energy Data tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

Common questions about U.S. EIA Energy Data MCP in Cursor

When the AI agent generates code, it runs the tool call first and then incorporates the live data response into the surrounding logic, making your final script instantly functional.

Absolutely. You can pull data on coal (`list_coal_production`) and then immediately follow up with natural gas data (`list_natural_gas_production`), letting the AI write a comparison function between them.

The server tracks everything from electricity generation to renewable stats via `list_renewable_energy_stats`. You can generate code that accounts for all these variables.

You call `list_regional_fuel_prices` and the agent uses that specific output to build your code's comparison logic. It’s much better than hardcoding mock numbers.

Yes, it connects directly to the live API endpoints, ensuring that any data you use in your generated code is accurate and up-to-date.
