Use EnergyNetWatch MCP With Codex

Connect Codex to approved EnergyNetWatch oil and gas data tools without pasting API keys into prompts or source files.

Create an API key

Download the MCP package

Use the authenticated package download or install path shown in the API Access screen. Follow the exact package name shown there.

Set environment variables

Set ENERGYNETWATCH_API_KEY and ENERGYNETWATCH_API_BASE_URL in the local Codex MCP environment.

Generate Codex config

Run the package config helper for Codex and add the resulting MCP server block to the appropriate Codex configuration file.

Smoke test

Ask Codex to run a narrow data availability or operator search. Confirm the request uses the API key through the MCP server and does not print the key.

Local check commands

export ENERGYNETWATCH_API_KEY="REDACTED_TEMP_TEST_KEY"
export ENERGYNETWATCH_API_BASE_URL="https://api.energynetwatch.com"

npm run check
npm run doctor
npm run print-config -- --client codex
npm run smoke

Use a redacted placeholder in docs. Set the real key only in the local environment.

Good first Codex prompt

Ask for a narrow smoke test, such as: “Use the EnergyNetWatch MCP tools to check whether there is TX data availability for one named operator. Do not print or expose credentials.”
