Real-time pollution data for Windsurf
Cascade pulls live metrics directly into your workspace using `get_current_air_quality`. Stop guessing if it's safe to head out; let your agent interpret the index and warn you before you lose hours to a headache. This MCP Server feeds raw numbers into your active context. Your agent uses this data to adjust your project plans or suggest local environmental variables for your test suites.
Track environmental trends with Windsurf
Feed historical data into your agent using `get_air_quality_history`. It identifies patterns in local particulate matter, helping you understand long-term shifts in your immediate area. Windsurf chains this historical context to predict future spikes. You get a clear picture of air safety without leaving your editor.
Automated health insights via Windsurf
The server maps raw pollutant counts to actionable health advice. When you trigger the tools, your agent parses the output to ensure you're not coding in a room with poor ventilation. It removes the need to interpret complex AQI charts manually. Your agent reads the environment and keeps your workspace safety in focus.
