    How to connect DOE Energy Information to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://mcp.olyport.com/eia/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.

    How to connect DOE Energy Information to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://mcp.olyport.com/eia/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
