How to Use the Brasil.io MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect the Brasil.io MCP Server to Windsurf?

You open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration block under the mcpServers key. Alternatively, use the Settings UI under Cascade MCP Servers to paste the connection URL. Cascade automatically detects the tools once you save the file.

Q: Can Windsurf chain queries across multiple Brasil.io datasets?

Yes, Cascade handles this autonomously. It uses listdatasets to find the tables, grabs the schemas with gettablemetadata, and then runs sequential queries. You do not need to prompt it for each individual step.

Q: How does Windsurf handle large datasets from Brasil.io?

Cascade uses the pagination parameters built into the listdatasets and querytabledata tools. It fetches data in chunks to prevent memory limits from crashing your Windsurf session.

Pull real-time Brazilian public datasets directly into Windsurf and let Cascade autonomously analyze the trends.

Perplexity

Auto-discover datasets through Cascade

The `list_datasets` tool exposes the entire catalog of Brazilian public registries directly to your Windsurf environment. Cascade scans this list, finds the dataset you need, and handles the pagination automatically without waiting for your next prompt. You just tell Cascade to find demographic or corporate tables, and it handles the API calls. It reads the raw catalog data, matches your request to the right dataset, and prepares the next analytical step on its own.

Map database schemas without leaving your workspace

The `get_table_metadata` tool provides Cascade with the exact column structures and data types of specific Brazilian public tables. This lets the Windsurf agent map out database relationships before running heavy queries using this MCP Server. Cascade uses this structural information to write precise SQL-like filters. By knowing the schema beforehand, the agent avoids syntax errors and retrieves only the columns relevant to your local code.

Query and filter public records in real time

The `query_table_data` tool pulls filtered rows from Brasil.io based on custom parameters like state codes or registration dates. Windsurf's Cascade engine uses this tool to extract targeted subsets, such as corporate records or regional health numbers, in a single run. Once the data arrives, Cascade feeds these results directly into your active workspace files. It loops through the filtered records, extracts the key metrics, and updates your local visualizations without requiring manual exports.

Setup guide

Set up Brasil.io MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Brasil.io MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Brasil.io payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Brasil.io tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Cascade reads the error payload returned by the MCP Server and adjusts its query parameters. It automatically rewrites the JSON filters and retries the request without pausing your active session.

Your queries for Brazilian public data run through an isolated V8 sandbox on Vinkius, which hosts the MCP. No local company records or private workspace code are sent to the public registry. The server only handles the specific search filters you pass to retrieve public statistics.
