Centaur Analytics MCP Tools for Cursor (12)
These 12 tools become available when you connect Centaur Analytics to Cursor via MCP:
get_alerts
Alerts are triggered by threshold breaches (high CO2, rising temperature, moisture migration, sensor failures) and indicate conditions requiring immediate attention. Returns alert severity (critical, warning, info), alert type, affected bin, timestamp, and recommended actions. Essential for proactive grain management, quality issue detection, and operational response. AI agents should use this when users ask "show me all active alerts", "what warnings have been triggered for bin 3", or need alert data for operational monitoring. Optional bin_id filters alerts for a specific bin. Get active alerts and warnings for grain bins or a specific bin
get_bin_details
Essential for understanding bin context before analyzing sensor data, planning aeration strategies, or generating quality reports. AI agents should reference this when users ask "tell me about bin 5", "what grain is stored in silo 3", or need detailed bin metadata for informed analysis. Get detailed information about a specific grain storage bin
get_bins
Returns bin IDs, names, locations, grain types, fill levels, and current monitoring status. Essential for facility overview, bin inventory management, and selecting specific bins for detailed analysis. AI agents should use this when users ask "show me all my grain bins", "list monitored storage units", or need to identify available bins before querying sensor readings or AI predictions. List all grain storage bins monitored by Centaur Analytics
get_co2_history
CO2 is the earliest indicator of biological activity (mold, insects, grain respiration) that leads to spoilage. Returns time-series CO2 data in ppm with timestamps. Essential for spoilage trend analysis, early warning detection, and validating storage condition stability. AI agents should reference this when users ask "show me CO2 trends for bin 3 over the past 30 days", "has CO2 been rising in silo 5", or need historical CO2 data for grain quality assessment. Optional days parameter controls lookback period. Get historical CO2 readings to track spoilage trends over time
get_current_readings
