How to Use the EIA State Energy — U.S. Regional Energy Data MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use the EIA State Energy — U.S. Regional Energy Data MCP Server to compare state consumption?

Windsurf uses Cascade to chain multiple calls to getstateenergydata for different states. It fetches the consumption figures, calculates the differences, and formats the comparative data in your workspace.

Fetch, cross-reference, and analyze 65 years of U.S. regional energy trends autonomously with Windsurf and this MCP Server.

Perplexity

Automate State-Level Energy Trend Mapping

Cascade can run multi-step data lookups across decades of state records without asking you for permission at every step. By calling `get_state_energy_data`, your agent pulls state-level production, consumption, and prices directly into your active workspace using this MCP Server. You don't have to manually prompt for the next step when comparing Texas oil production to New York gas prices. The agent chains the queries, parses the SEDS data, and spits out clean tables or files ready for your analysis.

Track Grid Outages with Windsurf Autonomous Chains

When assessing regional grid reliability, your agent uses `get_nuclear_outages` to pull real-time reactor status reports. It does not just stop at fetching the raw outage lists. Cascade immediately correlates those reactor outages with broader regional supply drops by calling `get_total_energy`. You get a complete picture of grid strain without writing a single line of API integration code yourself.

Trace Decades of CO2 Emissions and Fuel Transitions

This MCP Server lets your agent dig into the Monthly Energy Review dataset via `get_total_energy` to track aggregate fossil fuel consumption and emissions. It maps how coal, petroleum, and natural gas have shifted since 1960. Because Windsurf manages the entire execution plan, it can pull historical carbon metrics, compare them against state-specific pricing trends from `get_state_energy_data`, and build a local Markdown report detailing regional fuel transitions over the last sixty years.

Setup guide

Set up EIA State Energy — U.S. Regional Energy Data 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 State Energy — U.S. Regional Energy Data 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 State Energy — U.S. Regional Energy Data payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the EIA State Energy — U.S. Regional Energy Data tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about EIA State Energy — U.S. Regional Energy Data MCP in Windsurf

Windsurf uses Cascade to chain multiple calls to `get_state_energy_data` for different states. It fetches the consumption figures, calculates the differences, and formats the comparative data in your workspace.

Yes. When you ask Windsurf to analyze grid stress, it calls `get_nuclear_outages` to find offline reactors. It then writes a Python plotting script using that data and runs it to generate a visual chart.

You can query data from 1960 to the present. Your agent uses `get_state_energy_data` to retrieve these long-term state-level energy trends directly inside your editing session.

No, Vinkius handles the underlying EIA API key configuration. You only need to add the server to your MCP config file to let Cascade access the tools.

This server only processes public U.S. state energy consumption and nuclear outage records. Vinkius runs the server in an isolated sandbox, meaning your private code and queries never leak to external databases.
