How to Use the AEMO Australian Energy MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf connect to the AEMO Australian Energy MCP Server?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Cascade will auto-discover the 12 tools immediately on startup.

Q: What aggregation intervals are supported for network data?

The getnetworkdata tool supports intervals ranging from 5-minute increments up to a full year. This flexibility allows your agent to analyze short-term spikes or long-term seasonal trends.

Let Cascade pull live Australian grid data, spot prices, and emissions metrics directly into your Windsurf workspace.

Perplexity

Map Australian power grids directly inside Windsurf

Cascade handles the legwork of tracking energy infrastructure. When you ask for facility details, the agent uses `list_facilities` to find specific generators and pulls their output history with `get_facility_data`. It chains these calls back-to-back without waiting for your permission. You get a clean breakdown of active coal plants or solar farms without writing lookup scripts. The agent translates raw Australian grid IDs into readable summaries, helping you analyze regional capacity in seconds.

Track spot prices and grid demand on the fly

Market volatility happens fast on the Australian energy grid. This MCP Server lets your agent monitor real-time price fluctuations by running `get_market_data` across different regions. It correlates price spikes with regional demand without manual intervention. If prices jump in New South Wales, Cascade can automatically fetch the latest `get_market_updates` to see what triggered the event. You get the full picture of market behavior directly in your editing pane.

Audit emissions and renewable progress instantly

Tracking the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy requires hard numbers. The agent calls `get_renewable_proportion` to check the current mix and uses `get_network_by_fueltech` to isolate specific fuel types. If you need to audit environmental impact, Cascade queries `get_pollution_data` to pull National Pollutant Inventory records for specific facilities. You get raw emissions metrics without digging through government portals.
