The Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) is a monthly report from the EIA that provides 18-month projections for U.S. energy prices and supply.

Can I get 30-year energy projections?

Yes, you can use the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) capability to access 30-year U.S. energy projections, including reference and side cases.

Does this include data outside the U.S.?

Yes, the MCP includes the International Energy Outlook (IEO) for global projections and specific capabilities for country-level production and emissions data.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

How often is the data updated?

The STEO projections are updated monthly by the EIA, while the AEO and IEO provide different long-term and global perspectives.

How far ahead does EIA forecast?

Three horizons: STEO covers 18 months ahead (updated monthly). AEO projects 30 years for the U.S. IEO projects 25+ years for the global market. Each uses different models: STEO for short-term, NEMS for AEO, WEPS for IEO.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through EIA.

01
Get international outlook
This capability pulls the International Energy Outlook (IEO) to provide global energy projections. It covers production, consumption, and emissions broken down by region and fuel type.
02
Get short term outlook
This capability accesses the monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). It provides 18-month U.S. energy price and supply projections using data ranging from 1974 to 2027.
03
Get annual outlook
This capability retrieves the Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) for 30-year U.S. energy projections. It uses the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) to provide reference and side cases for production, consumption, and emissions.
04
Get international data
This capability fetches country-level energy data. You can get specific metrics for production, consumption, and emissions for individual nations.

Automate a task

Put EIA to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

EIA works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put EIA to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of EIA, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with EIA. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
