Connect EIA Full Access — U.S. Energy Intelligence MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect EIA Full Access — U.S. Energy Intelligence 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.
Automate energy modeling with Windsurf
Cascade uses `get_short_term_outlook` and `get_annual_outlook` to build predictive models directly in your editor. It chains these calls to pull 30-year projections without you typing a single line of code. Windsurf reads the output from `get_natgas_storage` and `get_crude_production` to update your dashboards automatically. You define the goal and the agent handles the multi-step execution.
Real-time grid analysis
Feed `get_grid_demand` and `get_nuclear_outages` into your active project context to monitor power stability. The agent pulls these metrics into your current workspace to inform your logic. This MCP server gives Windsurf direct access to `get_plant_generation` for granular reporting. You get the raw data points exactly where you need them for your infrastructure simulations.
Resource management at scale
Query `get_coal_prices` or `get_petroleum_stocks` via the chat panel to get instant commodity updates. Cascade processes the data and formats it into your project files instantly. It handles the heavy lifting by calling `get_total_energy` to aggregate sector-wide metrics. Your agent does the research while you focus on the architecture.
