About Emissions API MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire environmental research workflow with Emissions API, the open source platform for satellite-based emission data. By connecting Emissions API to your agent, you transform complex gas monitoring into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly query carbon monoxide, methane, and ozone levels for any country without you ever touching a technical portal. Whether you are conducting climate research or monitoring industrial impact, your agent acts as a real-time environmental analyst, ensuring your data is always grounded in precise, satellite-derived measurements.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Emissions API tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 6 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Gas Auditing — Query real-time and historical levels of Carbon Monoxide, Methane, and Ozone to maintain a clear view of atmospheric composition.
- Regional Oversight — Retrieve emission data for specific countries or geographic coordinates to understand local environmental trends.
- Temporal Intelligence — Query data across specific date ranges to monitor changes in gas concentrations over time.
- Spatial Discovery — Retrieve emission measurements in GeoJSON format to maintain strict control over geographic data distribution.
- Product Discovery — List all available gas products in the catalog to identify relevant markers for your research.
The Emissions API MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
