Perplexity

Track Grid Imbalances on Autopilot

Point Windsurf's Cascade agent at a price spike and let it work. It can autonomously chain tools to find the root cause, checking `get_balancing_prices` against `get_generation_outages` and `get_crossborder_flows` to see what broke. Your agent does the digging. You just see the answer. No more manually querying one endpoint after another to piece together a market event. Cascade builds the narrative from the raw ENTSO-E data, connecting a transmission fault to a price surge without you prompting every step.

Validate Renewable Forecasts Instantly

Ask Windsurf to check if solar and wind are hitting their marks. The Cascade agent can pull data from `get_wind_solar_forecast` and compare it directly against the ground truth from `get_actual_generation` for any European bidding zone. This isn't just about getting two data points. It's about your agent automatically performing the comparison for you. You can set a goal like "Compare German wind forecast vs. actuals for yesterday," and Windsurf handles the rest, presenting a clear summary of the performance.

Your Autonomous Energy Analyst MCP Server

Give your agent a high-level goal, like investigating grid congestion in Central Europe. Cascade maps out a plan, using tools like `get_transmission_outages` to find constraints and `get_day_ahead_prices` to see the market impact. This MCP Server gives Windsurf the raw materials it needs to conduct real analysis. It combines data from a dozen different ENTSO-E sources to answer complex questions about supply, demand, and grid stability, moving far beyond simple data retrieval.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about ENTSO-E MCP in Windsurf

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains tools together autonomously. You give it a goal, and it figures out the steps, like using `get_day_ahead_load` and `get_forecasted_generation` to assess tomorrow's grid balance without you asking for each piece of data.

Use the built-in MCP Marketplace in Windsurf. Just find the ENTSO-E server and click install. Your agent's tools are auto-discovered, so you can start asking questions about the European grid right away.

Yes. You can ask Windsurf to pull historical data using the `get_day_ahead_prices` tool for a specific bidding zone and date range. The agent can then process that data to identify trends or anomalies for you.

This server connects to the pan-European ENTSO-E Transparency Platform. You can access data for any bidding zone or control area covered by their API, from Spain to Finland, by providing the correct area code.

Your connection is secured through a single Vinkius token. All requests for ENTSO-E electricity market data are processed in an ephemeral, sandboxed environment that's destroyed after use. Nothing is logged or stored.
