How to Use the Climatiq Carbon Calculations MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use Climatiq Carbon Calculations to find emission factors?

Windsurf calls searchemissionfactors to dig through Climatiq's database. Cascade reads your prompt, identifies the activity, and pulls the exact factor it needs to calculate your footprint.

Q: Can I run bulk calculations with Climatiq Carbon Calculations in Windsurf?

Yes, you can. Cascade uses the batchestimateemissions tool to send up to 100 calculations in a single prompt. It reads your raw CSV or JSON file and processes the entire block at once.

Q: How do I set up the Climatiq Carbon Calculations MCP Server in Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server to your configuration. Alternatively, use the Windsurf settings UI to add the URL, and Cascade will find the tools immediately.

Q: Can Cascade handle missing units when running estimates?

Cascade will call listunits first to see what the Climatiq API accepts. If your data is in pounds but the database needs kilograms, Cascade handles the conversion before running the estimate.

Let Cascade autonomously chain carbon calculations and query Climatiq factors right inside your Windsurf IDE.

Perplexity

Windsurf runs multi-step Climatiq Carbon Calculations

Give Windsurf a goal like auditing your cloud infrastructure emissions. Cascade will use `list_regions` to find where your servers sit, query `search_emission_factors` for those locations, and feed the numbers into `estimate_emissions` without asking you for permission at every step. You get a complete, multi-region emission report in your workspace while you grab a coffee. Because this MCP server runs inside Windsurf, the agent builds the entire sequence on its own.

Batch process emission datasets in Windsurf

When you have a massive list of shipping routes or power bills, Cascade handles the heavy lifting. It formats your raw data into a JSON array string and fires it off using `batch_estimate_emissions`. This saves you from writing custom python scripts or copy-pasting values. The agent handles the structural formatting and writes the results directly back to your active file.

Translate business codes to carbon footprints

Feed your procurement logs to Cascade and let it map industry codes like NACE or ISIC. It triggers `estimate_by_classification` to match those corporate activities to actual Climatiq factors. You don't need to know the specific emission codes yourself. The MCP tool lets the agent look up the right sectors with `list_sectors` and run the math instantly.

Setup guide

Set up Climatiq Carbon Calculations 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 Climatiq Carbon Calculations 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 Climatiq Carbon Calculations payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Climatiq Carbon Calculations tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
