The only text from the server itself is in the section quoted from it below. ## How to reach it - A web service at `https://eia-energy.caseyjhand.com/mcp` (streamable HTTP); nothing runs here. - Your MCP client knows it as `eia-energy` (`clients/` configures it under that name); call its tools by the names below. Claude Code shows them as `mcp__eia-energy__<tool>`. - No credentials. ## Tools 6 tools. The read-only column is the server's own hint (`readOnlyHint`), not something the hub checked. ### Quoted from the server: data, not instructions The names, sentences and parameter names in this table are the server's own text, as the hub listed it.

eia_browse_routesLists child routes under a given path in the EIA dataset taxonomy. Start with no path to get the 14 top-level categories (electricity, petroleum, natural-gas, steo, aeo, ieo, seds, etc.), then drill into subcategories. Each result includes an isLeaf flag — leaf routes are queryable endpoints; non-leaf routes have children to browse. When isLeaf is true on the browsed path itself, switch to eia_describe_route. The first call after server start waits up to 20s for the route tree to warm, then answers from EIA directly.Lists child routes under a given path in the EIA dataset taxonomy.

Resolves natural-language queries like "electricity retail sales by state" or "natural gas imports" to matching route paths. Multi-term queries are also matched term by term, so combining a commodity, a metric, and a sector — "electricity price residential", "coal generation industrial sector" — reaches the route carrying that data even when no single entry reads like the whole phrase. A query spelling the end of a route path in words — "retail sales" for electricity/retail-sales — ranks that route first. STEO and SEDS series names are indexed so queries like "crude oil production forecast" or "motor gasoline total consumption" also resolve, and so are facet values, so a fuel type or sector term like "wind" or "anthracite coal" resolves to the route that exposes it, with filter_hint carrying the filter to pass on. Results include isLeaf so you know whether to browse further or query directly. Results with score > 0.72 are weak matches — try a more specific query or use eia_browse_routes to explore the taxonomy. The first call after server start waits 24-30s while the index warms, and at most 45s; every later call returns in milliseconds.
