Natural gas production trend

Browse categories first, then time-series data for supply analysis.

Try this

Discover EIA natural-gas routes, fetch monthly U.S. dry production for the past three years, and highlight the highest and lowest months.

Petroleum price snapshot

Commodity price monitoring from official EIA series.

Try this

Pull recent EIA petroleum spot price data, compare the latest readings, and note which series moved most over the last month.

Explore a new data series

Route discovery before committing to a specific data pull.

Try this

Show top-level EIA data categories, open the renewables section, list available sub-series, and suggest which one fits a wind-generation outlook memo.

Context to know first

What is DOE EIA Energy Data MCP?

It lets AI agents query official U.S. energy statistics from the Energy Information Administration — electricity, natural gas, petroleum, coal, renewables, prices, and emissions — after you connect free EIA access in MCPBundles.

Who is this for?

Energy analysts, policy researchers, traders, and sustainability teams who need authoritative U.S. energy numbers in chat instead of manually navigating EIA data tables.

What data does EIA publish?

EIA is the U.S. government's primary source for energy statistics — production, consumption, prices, trade, and outlooks across electricity, natural gas, petroleum, coal, nuclear, and renewable sources. The data is public; MCPBundles lets agents query it on your behalf.

DOE EIA Energy Data

EIA provides energy data for electricity, natural gas, petroleum, coal, and renewables — production, consumption, prices, trade, emissions. APIv2 is fully RESTful (since Feb 2022). Route hierarchy: /v2/electricity, /v2/natural-gas, /v2/petroleum, /v2/coal, etc. Supports facet-based filtering, frequency selection (annual/monthly/weekly/daily), and data sorting.

Data Model

  • Routes — hierarchical endpoints organizing data by energy source: /v2/electricity, /v2/natural-gas, /v2/petroleum, /v2/coal, /v2/nuclear-outages, /v2/seds (state energy data), /v2/steo (short-term outlook).
  • Facets — filterable dimensions within each route (e.g. state, sector, fuel type). Use facets[dimension]=value query params.
  • Frequencies — temporal granularity: annual, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly. Varies by route.
  • Data columns — each route returns specific value columns (e.g. price, quantity, generation).

Gotchas

  • Route discovery — GET /v2/ returns all top-level routes; GET /v2/{route}/ returns sub-routes and available facets.
  • Pagination — use offset and length params. Default length is 5000, max 5000.
  • Sort — use sort[0][column]=period&sort[0][direction]=desc for ordering.
