Instant FM station lookups in Windsurf

Cascade pulls live FCC data for any station call sign using `get_fm_station_details`. You get the exact licensing status and technical specs without searching the web. Windsurf chains these results into your current project files. It takes the output and writes your code immediately.

Automated TV licensing data retrieval

Feed `get_tv_station_details` to your agent for quick verification of television broadcast records. It fetches official registry entries while you work on other tasks. This MCP server keeps your local database in sync with real-world FCC records. You define the goal and the agent handles the rest.

Direct access to broadcast records

Stop manual data entry for media projects by using this MCP server to bridge the gap. It connects your codebase to public records instantly. Windsurf reads the response from each tool and maps it to your schema. It's a direct pipeline from the FCC to your editor.
