before you install - you'll need

OILPRICEAPI_KEY

Claude Code

claude mcp add oilpriceapi-mcp-server -- npx -y oilpriceapi-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "oilpriceapi-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "oilpriceapi-mcp"

    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
