Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check OilPriceAPI hosted energy data every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 9

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

energy

energy_compare

Compare 2–5 distinct supported energy benchmarks with separate timestamps, dataset context, units and currencies. No currency conversion or timestamp alignment is implied.

energy_drilling

Read authenticated drilling intelligence for a supported geography. Preserve report dates and geography. Permian basin counts and prior-report changes are unavailable unless explicitly supplied; do not substitute US totals. Account entitlement is enforced by OilPriceAPI.

energy_futures_curve

Read an authenticated energy forward curve, at most 12 contracts. Preserve contract month, trading date and expiration semantics. Missing expiration or source dates remain unreported. Account entitlement is enforced by OilPriceAPI.

energy_get_latest

Read the latest price for one exact commodity code from the catalog (find codes with energy_search_catalog). Preserve dataset name, currency, unit and all source/freshness fields; latest is not necessarily spot or settlement. Requires a connected account; access follows the account's plan.

energy_get_price

Read one supported latest energy benchmark. Preserve dataset name, currency, unit and all available source/freshness fields. Latest benchmarks may be futures; never relabel them spot or settlement. Demo is available without signup.

energy_history

Read one authenticated benchmark's daily historical observations over at most 30 days and 100 rows. No pagination or anonymous history. Derive summaries only from returned observations, which may be incomplete.

energy_marine_fuels

Read authenticated bunker quotes for 1–2 supported ports and one exact grade: VLSFO, MGO_05S or HFO_380. Preserve port, grade and per-quote freshness. No substitution when a quote is unavailable. Account entitlement is enforced by OilPriceAPI.

energy_market_overview

Read a grouped snapshot of at most six supported energy benchmarks. Catalog enumeration and bulk extraction are outside this plugin. Missing values remain unavailable.

energy_search_catalog

Search the full OilPriceAPI commodity catalog (crude grades, regional natural gas hubs such as Waha, refined products, power, coal, metals, freight and more) by name or code. Returns at most 10 matching codes with name, category, unit and update frequency. Use it to find the code, then call energy_get_latest. Requires a connected OilPriceAPI account.

OilPriceAPI hosted energy data — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can OilPriceAPI hosted energy data do?

It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: energy_compare, energy_drilling, energy_futures_curve, energy_get_latest, energy_get_price, energy_history and 3 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 →

Is OilPriceAPI hosted energy 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 366 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect OilPriceAPI hosted energy data?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does OilPriceAPI hosted energy data need an API key?

No. OilPriceAPI hosted energy data completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is OilPriceAPI hosted energy data?

It answers our handshake in 366 ms on average, which is faster than 38% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is OilPriceAPI hosted energy data open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 4 stars on GitHub and 7 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.oilpriceapi.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
