Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Oil Gas Data every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
operator
get_operator_permits
Get an operator's drilling permits filed in Texas or Oklahoma over the last 24 months.
get_operator_profile
Get an oil & gas operator profile + summary counts of permits, recent spuds, new producers, and DUC inventory across Texas and Oklahoma.
get_operator_recent_activity
Get an operator's consolidated recent drilling activity: 24mo permits, 90d spuds, 6mo new producers, and current DUC inventory in one response.
county
get_county_drilling_activity
Get county-level drilling activity rankings for Texas or Oklahoma: total wells, recent permits, recent spuds, DUCs, top operator, and top formation per county.
get_county_production
Get the monthly oil & gas production time series for a U.S. county from Buckhead's open dataset: period (YYYY-MM), oil_bbl, gas_mcf, and producing well count, back to 1990. Covers ~25 states. Licensed CC BY 4.0. Use list_production_states to discover coverage.
state
get_state_recent_permits
Get recent oil & gas drilling permits filed in Texas or Oklahoma over the last 24 months.
get_state_snapshot
Get the full Texas or Oklahoma oil & gas industry snapshot: counts (permits, DUCs, spuds, new producers, counties, formations) plus top 10 operators / counties / formations and latest 10 activity records of each kind.
top
get_top_operators
Get the top oil & gas operators in Texas or Oklahoma ranked by total well count, with recent permit + DUC + producing-well counts per operator.
get_top_producing_wells
Get the top 500 oil-producing wells AND top 500 gas-producing wells in Texas (lease-level) or Oklahoma (well-level) by latest reported monthly production volume.
commodity
get_commodity_spot_prices
Get the current live spot prices for WTI Crude Oil (USD per barrel) and Henry Hub Natural Gas (USD per MMBtu).
duc
get_duc_inventory
Get the current drilled-but-uncompleted (DUC) well inventory in Texas or Oklahoma: wells with a spud date but no reported first production, with operator, county, formation, spud date, and daysSinceSpud (daysWaiting is a legacy alias of the same value). State records carry no completion status, so treat this as an approximate DUC list.
encyclopedia
get_encyclopedia_term
Get a full Buckhead Energy Oil & Gas Encyclopedia definition page by slug: the definition, explanatory sections, FAQ, and related terms for a mineral-rights / oil & gas concept (e.g. "rule-of-capture", "division-order", "net-mineral-acre"). Use the buckhead://encyclopedia resource to discover slugs.
formation
get_formation_detail
Get a per-formation deep dive (e.g. Wolfcamp in TX, SCOOP in OK): well count, active operators, top operators, primary counties, recent permits + DUCs targeting this formation.
new
get_new_producing_wells
Get wells that newly began producing in Texas or Oklahoma, with operator, county, and formation — a leading indicator of fresh royalty income for mineral owners.
production
list_production_states
List the states covered by Buckhead's open county-production dataset, with county counts and the period range. Free, CC BY 4.0.
recently
get_recently_spudded_wells
Get wells recently spudded (drilling started) in Texas or Oklahoma, with operator, county, formation, and spud date — a real-time signal of where active drilling is happening.

Oil Gas Data — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Oil Gas Data do?
It exposes 16 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_commodity_spot_prices, get_county_drilling_activity, get_county_production, get_duc_inventory, get_encyclopedia_term, get_formation_detail and 10 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Oil Gas Data mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around operator, state and county. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Oil Gas Data working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 479 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Oil Gas Data?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Oil Gas Data need an API key?
No. Oil Gas Data completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 16 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Oil Gas Data?
It answers our handshake in 479 ms on average, which is faster than 33% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
