How to Use the Emissions API MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf chain Emissions API tools together?

Yes. Cascade excels at this. It automatically runs getnitrogendioxide and then passes those results into a formatting script without stopping to ask you.

Let Windsurf's Cascade autonomously track air quality via this MCP Server.

Autonomous Windsurf Pollution Tracking via MCP

Cascade doesn't wait for step-by-step instructions. You tell it to analyze local air quality, and it figures out the rest. It queries `get_available_products` to see what gases it tracks, then immediately pulls the numbers. That means you get a complete picture of an area without hand-holding. If you need a dashboard showing traffic pollution, Cascade runs `get_nitrogen_dioxide` and `get_carbon_monoxide` in one chain, formatting the output directly into your workspace.

Mapping Environmental Data

Raw numbers only tell half the story. When you need to visualize where pollution actually sits, your agent grabs spatial data using `get_geojson_emissions`. It feeds this directly into whatever mapping library you prefer. You ask for a map of industrial zones, and the agent plots the exact coordinates without you touching a single JSON parser.

Deep Audits for Specific Gases

Sometimes you just need to hunt down a specific leak or atmospheric anomaly. You point the tool at a region and tell it to check for greenhouse gases. It fires off `get_methane` to find industrial venting. If you are looking at smog levels instead, it pulls `get_ozone`. The MCP Server handles the actual API connections, letting you focus on what the data means instead of how to fetch it.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Emissions API MCP in Windsurf

Open your MCP Servers UI under Settings, then Cascade. Add the server details to your configuration and click Refresh. Editing `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` directly works too.

Yes. Cascade excels at this. It automatically runs `get_nitrogen_dioxide` and then passes those results into a formatting script without stopping to ask you.

It does. Use the built-in marketplace for a one-click installation. Cascade auto-discovers all six gas tracking tools the second you connect.

You get standard JSON for most gas queries. Requesting spatial data returns valid GeoJSON ready for your frontend components.

Your environmental research stays local. The server only transmits your specific geographic coordinates to fetch the requested gas readings. Vinkius runs the connection in an ephemeral V8 Isolate, dropping the state the moment your query finishes.
