Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 6 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The Problem With Manual Coal Market Analysis

Today, analyzing coal market shifts means juggling a dozen disparate sources. You download EIA reports for reserves, run separate queries for state-level production data, and then manually cross-reference commodity pricing sheets to understand regional cost variations. It's tedious copy-pasting across spreadsheets just to get a basic snapshot.

With this MCP, you skip the manual aggregation entirely. Instead of wrestling with multiple PDFs and tabs, your agent consumes all that data—production volumes, market prices, quality metrics—and spits out one cohesive report detailing exactly what changed and why.

get_coal_reserves: Modeling Long-Term Capacity

The hardest part of traditional analysis is comparing current output to actual future capacity. You often have separate reports for 'Current Production' and 'Recoverable Reserves,' making a direct comparison messy and prone to outdated data.

Now you can ask your agent to compare get_coal_production against get_coal_reserves in one prompt. It generates an immediate, actionable report showing the gap between what is being mined today and what remains for future use.

What your AI can actually do with this

This MCP lets you build a complete picture of the coal supply chain, from the mine pit to the market price tag. Instead of cross-referencing multiple government PDFs or calling different data feeds for separate metrics, your agent pulls everything together. You can track individual mine output and compare it to national totals by state and fuel type.

Need to know if a shift in international trade will affect regional prices? The MCP handles that link. Furthermore, you get specific details on coal quality—heat content, sulfur, ash percentages—so you aren't just looking at tons of coal, but usable energy metrics. When you connect this intelligence source through Vinkius, your AI client can run complex queries about reserves and production capacity against current market prices in a single conversational flow.

This saves hours of manual data synthesis.

Questions you might have

How do I check if a mine's output affects the market price using get_mine_production and get_coal_prices? +

You ask your agent to correlate them. The MCP takes specific output data from get_mine_production and compares it against real-time pricing trends via get_coal_prices, giving you a localized impact assessment.

Can I compare coal quality metrics across different states using get_coal_quality? +

Yes. You can run queries that aggregate data from get_coal_quality to show average heat content or sulfur levels, allowing you to spot regional differences in fuel grade.

What if I want to see how global trade affects my state's production? Do I use get_coal_trade? +

Exactly. Use get_coal_trade for the international data, and then pair it with get_coal_production to create a full picture of domestic supply stability versus foreign demand.

Is this MCP better than just using a standard database query? +

Yes. A standard query retrieves raw numbers; this MCP provides the relationship. It analyzes how getting coal_reserves relates to get_coal_prices, giving you context instead of just data points.

How do I check the total recoverable coal reserves and productive capacity using get_coal_reserves? +

It provides a full picture of recoverable reserves, productive capacity, and current stocks. Run this tool to model long-term resource availability for strategic planning.

If I need national totals by state, should I use get_coal_production instead of listing individual mines? +

Yes, this tool delivers aggregate national and state production totals. It lets you compare overall output across different coal types and ranks without needing to look up every single mine.

What specific data inputs does get_coal_quality require when analyzing heat content, sulfur, and ash? +

The tool requires parameters defining the sector or consumption type. You define the scope—for example, specifying 'Appalachian Basin'—and receive quality metrics for heat, sulfur, and ash percentages.

If I run multiple complex queries in a short time span, are there any rate limits when using these tools? +

Vinkius manages standard API request rates across all integrated tools. For heavy or continuous querying, batch requests are recommended; check the documentation for specific usage tiers.

Does this include nuclear data? +

Yes! In addition to comprehensive coal data, this server includes EIA nuclear outage tracking for all U.S. commercial nuclear reactors. For nuclear generation data, see the Electricity server.
