How to Use the Arcadia Utility Cloud MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Arcadia Utility Cloud work with Windsurf's Cascade agent?

Cascade automatically discovers the Arcadia tools like getmeterdata. When you give it a task, Cascade chains the necessary commands together to get the answer without asking for each step. It plans and executes the whole sequence for you.

Let Windsurf's Cascade agent pull your Arcadia utility data, find your latest bill, and graph your usage before you even ask.

Get Utility Reports with Windsurf

Stop digging for utility bills. Just ask Windsurf to get your latest statement. Its Cascade agent will automatically run `list_accounts`, find the right one, then use `list_statements` to grab the PDF you need. Cascade chains these commands without you having to prompt each step. It sees your goal—"get my last electric bill"—and figures out the path on its own. You just get the result, not a long conversation.

Track Energy Usage Spikes

Wondering about a spike in your water bill? Tell Windsurf to investigate. It can `list_meters` for your account, then run `get_meter_data` on a specific meter to pull historical consumption data from Arcadia. Because Cascade works autonomously, you can give it a broad goal like "graph my last six months of electricity usage." It will fetch all the necessary data from Arcadia Utility Cloud and prepare it for analysis, all in one go.

Manage Multiple Properties in One Place

If you manage more than one property, this MCP server is for you. Windsurf can use `list_accounts` to show you every utility account you've connected to Arcadia. No more logging into five different utility portals. From there, you can have Cascade run reports across all of them. It can check for new statements or compare meter readings between properties, giving you a single view of everything.

Common questions about Arcadia Utility Cloud MCP in Windsurf

Cascade automatically discovers the Arcadia tools like `get_meter_data`. When you give it a task, Cascade chains the necessary commands together to get the answer without asking for each step. It plans and executes the whole sequence for you.

Yes. The easiest way is through Windsurf's built-in MCP Marketplace. Find Arcadia Utility Cloud in the list and click install to get started immediately.

You can pull your account list, meter IDs, historical usage data with `get_meter_data`, and metadata for all your statements using `list_statements`. It's all the core data you'd find on your utility provider's website, but accessible to your agent.

It's simple. You can use the marketplace for a one-click install, or manually add the MCP server URL in the Settings UI under Cascade → MCP Servers. Once added, the tools are immediately available to Cascade.

Your connection is secured by your Vinkius endpoint token. The MCP Server only handles utility account info, meter readings, and statement metadata. All operations run in a zero-trust, ephemeral sandbox that is destroyed after your request is complete.
