01 · Install Eia Energy MCP Server
before you install - you'll need
Set MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE, MCP_LOG_LEVEL, EIA_API_KEY before connecting.
Claude Code
claude mcp add cyanheads-eia-energy-mcp-server --transport http https://eia-energy.caseyjhand.com/mcpClaude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

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 list child routes under a path in the EIA dataset taxonomy, read a leaf route's facets, valid values, data columns, frequencies, and date range, fetch data from a leaf route with facet filters, date range, and column selection, and list active DataCanvas dataframes staged by eia_query_route, with schema and provenance.
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 path in the EIA dataset taxonomy; omit path for the 14 top-level categories.
- eia_describe_route
- - Returns a leaf route's facets, valid values, data columns, frequencies, and date range.
- eia_search_routes
- - Fuzzy text search across route names, descriptions, STEO series names, and facet values.
- eia_query_route
- - Fetches data from a leaf route with facet filters, date range, and column selection; optionally stages results for SQL.
- eia_dataframe_describe
- - Lists active DataCanvas dataframes staged by eia_query_route, with schema and provenance.
- eia_dataframe_query
- - Runs a read-only SQL SELECT against staged DataCanvas dataframes.
- eia_dataframe_drop
- - Drops a DataCanvas dataframe, freeing its memory.
