Perplexity

Pulling 30-Year Projections via MCP Server

The `get_annual_outlook` tool feeds Windsurf a 30-year runway of U.S. energy production, consumption, and emissions data. Cascade reads your prompt, hits the NEMS reference cases, and immediately writes the parsing logic in your workspace. You skip the manual CSV downloads from the government portal entirely. Side cases come attached. If you need to map out high economic growth versus low oil price scenarios, the agent pulls the exact datasets required. It structures the output directly into your Python or TypeScript project.

Mapping Global Energy Shifts

The `get_international_outlook` tool exposes global energy consumption and emissions broken down by region and fuel type. When you ask Windsurf to compare European renewables against Asian coal dependencies, Cascade grabs the international projections from the MCP Server without pausing for permission. Country-level specifics require the `get_international_data` tool. You just tell the IDE to build a dashboard comparing historical production rates. It handles the API requests, formats the JSON, and writes the frontend components in one pass.

Injecting 18-Month Price Forecasts

The `get_short_term_outlook` tool delivers 18-month price and supply projections published monthly by the EIA. Historical data stretches back to 1974 and projects out to 2027. Cascade pulls these exact data points to populate your short-term financial models. Building a trading algorithm or supply chain risk model takes minutes instead of days. Windsurf requests the short-term outlook parameters, writes the integration tests, and verifies the data structures match your existing database schema.

Setup guide

Set up EIA Energy Outlook — Forecasts & Projections 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 EIA Energy Outlook — Forecasts & Projections 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 EIA Energy Outlook — Forecasts & Projections payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the EIA Energy Outlook — Forecasts & Projections tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about EIA Energy Outlook — Forecasts & Projections MCP in Windsurf

Open `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` and add the server details under the `mcpServers` key. You can also use the UI by navigating to Settings, then Cascade, and selecting the MCP panel to refresh the connection.

Yes. Cascade reads your objective and calls tools sequentially. It might pull 18-month projections first, then fetch 30-year reference cases to build a complete analytical model without stopping to ask you for the next step.

It gives you 18-month U.S. energy price and supply projections. The dataset covers everything from 1974 through 2027, updated monthly.

You need the standard endpoint token provided by Vinkius. Cascade handles the authentication headers automatically once configured in your workspace settings.

The server only touches energy forecast parameters, emissions stats, and country-level consumption data requested through the tools. Vinkius isolates the execution in an ephemeral V8 sandbox, ensuring your proprietary Windsurf codebase never leaks into the public EIA queries.
