This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OILPRICEAPI_KEY (Your OilPriceAPI key from oilpriceapi.com/auth/signup. Optional: without it, keyless demo mode.), OILPRICEAPI_MCP_SCOPE (Tool scope: read (default) or write (explicit mutation opt-in).), OILPRICEAPI_MCP_PROFILE (Tool profile: all, core, market, or automation.), OILPRICEAPI_MCP_CATEGORIES (Comma-separated category allowlist (core, market, automation) that overrides the profile.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

OilpriceAPI — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for OilpriceAPI?
OilpriceAPI runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package oilpriceapi-mcp was installed 1 642 times last week.
How do I connect OilpriceAPI?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls oilpriceapi-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use OilpriceAPI?
The npm package oilpriceapi-mcp was installed 1 642 times in the last week. Week over week that is -12%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is OilpriceAPI open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 4 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
