US natural gas data, inside your AI assistant

NatGasLens runs a remote MCP server. Point Claude, Cursor or VS Code at it and ask about US gas in plain language — LNG feedgas, which liquefaction train is down, what the EIA is likely to print this Thursday, where the Henry Hub curve sits against a year ago. The numbers come from our own collection pipeline, not from a chat model's memory.

Every tool answers without credentials. No token means delayed data — the fundamental score lags 14 days, storage shows only the released print, production stops at the last closed month. Add a subscription token and the same tools return the live edge. Evaluate first, pay later.

What it gives you

• US natural gas market brief — start here — the whole dashboard in one call: every fundamental with its direction and strength, demand by component, storage, production, the forward curve and positioning
  get_us_natural_gas_market_brief
• US natural gas fundamental score — composite fundamental pressure score, −100..+100, with the contribution of each of five signals and its own out-of-sample stats
  get_us_natural_gas_fundamental_score
• EIA weekly storage nowcast — the EIA weekly storage print — and, before it lands, our estimate of it with the error we have actually been making
  get_us_natural_gas_storage_nowcast
• US dry gas production nowcast — US dry gas production in Bcf/d, including the month that has not closed yet
  get_us_natural_gas_production_nowcast
• US LNG feedgas — daily feedgas into US liquefaction terminals, terminal by terminal, against its own 30-day band
  get_us_lng_feedgas
• US LNG plant outages — operating status of every US LNG export plant: what is down, since when, and how much capacity it holds
  get_us_lng_plant_outages
• GFS / ECMWF / CPC degree days — GFS and ECMWF 7-day CONUS degree days against the government CPC issue, plus how the forecast was revised
  get_us_natural_gas_weather_models
• Henry Hub forward curve — the Henry Hub futures curve by delivery month, against a week, a month and a year ago
  get_henry_hub_forward_curve
• Henry Hub CFTC positioning — weekly CFTC positioning: managed-money net, its change and where it sits in three years of history
  get_henry_hub_cot_positioning
• US natural gas news context — recent events that moved the market — outages, restarts, Gulf storms — each with how strongly it reads
  get_us_natural_gas_news_context
• US natural gas pressure summary — our whole reading in one call: every fundamental, its direction and strength, and what drives it
  get_us_natural_gas_pressure_summary
• US natural gas chart (PNG) — the rendered chart cards as PNG, the same ones we publish to our channel (subscription only)

Set it up

The server takes your token either as an Authorization: Bearer header or as a ?t= query parameter. The query form works in every client, so that is what the snippets below use. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with the token the bot gives you; drop it entirely to run in free mode.

Do not look for NatGasLens in the Claude connectors directory — it is added by URL, as a custom connector. Anthropic documents the two as equivalent: a server does not need to be in the directory to be used, and once connected it exposes exactly the same tools.

Claude (desktop and web)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it NatGasLens and paste the URL:

https://mcp.natgaslens.com/mcp?t=YOUR_TOKEN

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http natgaslens \
  "https://mcp.natgaslens.com/mcp?t=YOUR_TOKEN"

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "natgaslens": {
      "url": "https://mcp.natgaslens.com/mcp?t=YOUR_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "natgaslens": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.natgaslens.com/mcp?t=YOUR_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

Ask it something

• “Is US LNG feedgas running above or below its 30-day band today, and which terminal moved it?”
• “What does NatGasLens expect this week's EIA storage report to print, and how accurate has that estimate been?”
• “Walk me through the current bullish and bearish pressure on Henry Hub, strongest factor first.”

Data, not advice

NatGasLens supplies measurements and statistical estimates of the US gas market: what is flowing, what is stored, what the models see. It is not investment advice, not a price forecast and not a promise of profit. Every estimate comes with a margin of error, official data gets revised, and how any indicator behaved in the past is no guarantee of how it behaves next. Each model output arrives with its vintage and its measured margin of error attached, so you can weigh it yourself before it touches a decision.
