Connect Dades Obertes Catalunya MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Dades Obertes Catalunya to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Search Catalonia catalogs directly
You need specific regional data, but digging through government portals wastes time. Cascade handles the discovery phase for you. Just ask your agent to find information on Barcelona traffic or regional budgets. It fires off `search_catalog` to scan the portal and grabs the exact dataset identifiers needed for the next step.
Windsurf MCP Server data extraction
Finding the dataset is only half the battle. Pulling the exact records you need usually requires writing custom fetch scripts. Instead, Cascade uses `query_dataset` to run raw SoQL queries against the government endpoints. It filters, limits, and selects the exact rows you need without breaking your flow.
Autonomous public data pipelines
Other IDEs make you prompt every single step of data extraction. Windsurf chains the whole process together. Tell Cascade to build a chart of recent public transit usage. It searches the catalog, queries the specific dataset, and writes the frontend code to visualize it all in one go.
