Today, getting a full view of global input costs is an exercise in copy-pasting.

You start by checking oil prices on one dashboard. Then you have to jump over to a separate tab for natural gas benchmarks. Next, you open a third source just to pull the latest copper assessment. You spend time manually cross-referencing these disparate sheets—checking if the price spread between different commodities makes sense.

With this MCP, your agent does all that work in one go. You simply ask: 'Compare the current energy input costs for running a manufacturing plant.' The system pulls together data from multiple tools, including get_crude_oil_prices and get_petrochemicals_prices, and gives you a single, consolidated answer.

S&P Global Commodity Insights delivers full commodity lifecycle pricing.

No more juggling separate tools for different timeframes or asset classes. You can combine historical trend analysis using get_historical_commodity_prices with current data from get_metals_prices, all in one conversation flow.

The difference is that you stop analyzing isolated price points and start modeling the entire market lifecycle—from extraction to finished product—with unparalleled depth.

What Commodity Insights MCP does for your AI

This connector brings professional-grade global commodity data directly into your AI client. You can access world-class price assessments from Platts, tracking everything needed to understand current market dynamics—from crude oil grades like Brent and WTI to regional electric power benchmarks in Europe or the US. It lets you monitor complex feedstock prices for petrochemicals, track base metals (copper, aluminum), or analyze agricultural yields across major crops.

You can even fetch historical data spanning years, which is critical for backtesting trading strategies. Connecting this MCP via Vinkius gives your agent immediate access to an industry-standard library of benchmarks and market methodologies. Your AI client becomes a comprehensive commodity analyst, letting you track input costs, model price spreads, and make truly data-driven decisions without leaving your chat window.

Frequently asked questions about Commodity Insights MCP

What commodity types and benchmarks are covered? +

The API covers over 12,000 daily price assessments across: Crude Oil (WTI, Brent, Dubai, Mars, WCS + hundreds of grades), Natural Gas (Henry Hub, TTF, NBP, JKM), Electric Power (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, European markets), Coal (Newcastle, API2, API4), Refined Products (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel), Petrochemicals (ethylene, propylene, benzene), Metals (copper, aluminum, gold, steel), Agriculture (wheat, corn, soybeans, fertilizers), and Energy Transition (carbon credits, battery metals, RECs).

How do I get an S&P Global Commodity Insights API key? +

API access requires an active S&P Global Commodity Insights subscription. Contact your S&P Global account manager or visit https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights to discuss licensing options. Once licensed, you'll receive API credentials through your SSO (Single Sign-On) account. The authentication uses Bearer tokens generated via the /auth/api endpoint with your SSO email and password.

Are the prices real-time or delayed? +

S&P Global Platts price assessments are published daily based on market activity. Most assessments reflect same-day or next-day values depending on the commodity and market. Some benchmarks (especially power markets) may have intra-day updates. Historical data is available for backtesting and trend analysis with flexible date range queries. The exact publication timing varies by commodity — crude oil and gas benchmarks are typically available by end of trading day.

Can I query historical prices for trend analysis? +

Yes! Use the get_historical_commodity_prices tool with a specific commodity identifier, start date, and optional end date. You can query daily, weekly, or monthly aggregated data. For example, to get WTI crude prices for the last 30 days, use commodity='crude-oil', start_date='2026-03-08'. The API provides extensive historical data suitable for backtesting, trend analysis, and market research.
