Use EnergyNetWatch MCP With Cursor

Configure Cursor to use EnergyNetWatch oil and gas data tools while keeping API credentials out of prompts, project files, and screenshots.

Security guidance Generic MCP setup

Create scoped access

Create an EnergyNetWatch API key from the authenticated API Access screen.

Install package path

Use the MCP package or local server path shown in the API Access instructions.

Generate Cursor config

Run the package config helper for Cursor and inspect the server command before adding it.

Set local environment

Store ENERGYNETWATCH_API_KEY in Cursor MCP environment configuration or local secret input, not in project code.

Test in a clean workspace

Ask Cursor for a narrow data availability or operator lookup so the tool path is easy to inspect.

Config helper

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

npm run print-config -- --client cursor
npm run smoke

Use the real key only in local Cursor configuration, not in repository files.

Clean-workspace smoke test

Ask Cursor to create a small markdown report from one operator lookup. Confirm no key appears in files, terminal output, or the generated report.
