Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to eia-energy.caseyjhand.com
endpoint auth accepted our unauthenticated MCP initialize - no credentials needed to connect
license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use
npm package @cyanheads/eia-energy-mcp-server - published under the repo owner's npm scope (@cyanheads)
registry namespace io.github.cyanheads is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 · What Eia Energy MCP Server can do
Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.
What you can build
With this server connected, an agent can fetch data from a leaf route with optional facet filters, date range, frequency, and column selection. Returns a preview, and run a read-only SQL SELECT across DataCanvas dataframes, referenced by their df_ table names. Only exposed when a canvas is configured.
The 7 tools it gives your agent
Extracted from the project's README - what eia-energy-mcp-server lets an agent do.
- eia_browse_routes
- - Lists child routes under a given path in the EIA dataset taxonomy. Start at root to see top-level categories, then drill into subcategories and leaf routes.
- eia_describe_route
- - Returns metadata for a leaf route: available facets with valid values, data column names, frequency options, units, and date range. Call before eia_query_route
- eia_search_routes
- - Fuzzy text search across route names, descriptions, category labels, STEO series names, and facet values. Resolves natural-language queries like "electricity re
- eia_query_route
- - Fetches data from a leaf route with optional facet filters, date range, frequency, and column selection. Returns a preview; pass stage: true to also page past i
- eia_dataframe_describe
- - Lists active DataCanvas dataframes created by prior eia_query_route calls that passed stage: true. Only exposed when a canvas is configured. Shows table name, c
- eia_dataframe_query
- - Runs a read-only SQL SELECT across DataCanvas dataframes, referenced by their df_ table names. Only exposed when a canvas is configured.
- eia_dataframe_drop
- - Drops a DataCanvas dataframe, freeing its memory. Only exposed when a canvas is configured and EIA_DATAFRAME_DROP_ENABLED=true.
