Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check DOE Energy Information 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.

electricity

get_electricity_data

Get electricity generation, consumption, or price data from the EIA. Returns data on electricity production, retail sales, prices, and fuel consumption for power generation across US states and sectors. Args: state: Two-letter US state abbreviation (e.g. 'CA', 'TX'). Omit for national data. sector: Sector filter. Common values: 'RES' (residential), 'COM' (commercial), 'IND' (industrial), 'TRA' (transportation), 'ALL' (all sectors). frequency: Data frequency: 'monthly', 'quarterly', or 'annual'. Default is 'monthly'. limit: Maximum number of records to return (default 100, max 5000).

natural

get_natural_gas_data

Get natural gas production, consumption, or price data from the EIA. Returns data on natural gas wellhead prices, marketed production, consumption by sector, and interstate pipeline flows. Args: state: Two-letter US state abbreviation (e.g. 'TX', 'PA'). Omit for national data. frequency: Data frequency: 'monthly' or 'annual'. Default is 'monthly'. limit: Maximum number of records to return (default 100, max 5000).

petroleum

get_petroleum_data

Get petroleum and oil price or production data from the EIA. Returns time series data for petroleum products including crude oil prices, production volumes, imports, exports, and refinery operations. Args: series: EIA series ID for the petroleum data. Common series: 'PET.RWTC.D' (WTI crude oil daily price), 'PET.RBRTE.D' (Brent crude oil daily price), 'PET.EMM_EPMR_PTE_NUS_DPG.W' (US regular gasoline weekly price), 'PET.MCRFPUS2.M' (US crude oil production monthly). Default is 'PET.RWTC.D'. limit: Maximum number of records to return (default 100, max 5000).

state

get_state_energy_profile

Get a comprehensive energy profile for a US state from the EIA. Returns an overview of energy production, consumption, prices, and expenditures across all fuel types for the specified state. Useful for understanding a state's full energy landscape. Args: state: Two-letter US state abbreviation (e.g. 'CA', 'TX', 'NY').

DOE Energy Information — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can DOE Energy Information do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_electricity_data, get_natural_gas_data, get_petroleum_data, get_state_energy_profile. 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 DOE Energy Information working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 550 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect DOE Energy Information?

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 DOE Energy Information need an API key?

No. DOE Energy Information completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is DOE Energy Information?

It answers our handshake in 550 ms on average, which is faster than 25% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
