What is the U.S. EIA Energy Data MCP Server?
Integrate the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the official source for U.S. energy statistics and analysis, directly into your AI workflow. Access real-time and historical data on electricity generation, petroleum and gasoline prices, natural gas production, coal distribution, and renewable energy consumption using natural language.
What you can do
- Energy Market Oversight — List and retrieve detailed statistics for various energy sources including petroleum, natural gas, and coal.
- Electricity Intelligence — Monitor retail sales and electricity generation data across U.S. regions and states.
- Renewable Tracking — Access the latest statistics on wind, solar, and hydro energy contributions to the U.S. energy grid.
- Energy Data Auditing — Retrieve high-level summaries of energy production trends and regional price variations instantly.
How it works
- Connect the EIA integration to your AI assistant.
- Authorize using your U.S. EIA API Key (free registration required).
- Orchestrate your energy research and market analysis through intuitive conversation.
Who is this for?
- Energy Analysts — Quickly check regional fuel prices and production volumes on the go.
- Sustainability Officers — Monitor renewable energy trends and consumption statistics via chat.
- Operations Teams — Gather official U.S. energy metadata and historical series data instantly.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns U.S. EIA Energy Data into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from U.S. EIA Energy Data and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an EIA API Key?
You can register for a free API Key at the EIA Open Data portal. Once registered, the key will be sent to your email address.
Is the data real-time or historical?
EIA provides both current energy statistics (updated daily or weekly) and extensive historical time-series data dating back several decades.
Does the integration cover global energy data?
This integration focuses on official U.S. domestic energy statistics as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Some international import/export data is included where relevant to the U.S. market.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
