How to Use the Grain Watch MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf use Grain Watch to check silo health?

Yes. You just ask Cascade to list all silos. It uses getsilos to pull the current list and reports which ones have active alerts or maintenance needs.

Q: How are sensor locations mapped?

The server includes a getsensormap tool. It provides the exact depth and zone for every sensor so you can visualize the grain mass internally.

Monitor grain silos directly in Windsurf. Cascade chains tools to track temperature, humidity, and spoilage risks automatically.

Full Silo Telemetry in Windsurf

Cascade pulls real-time data from `get_current_temperature` and `get_current_humidity` to give you an instant snapshot of your storage facility. You stop guessing about conditions and start seeing the raw sensor values as they land. Windsurf connects these tools to your current workspace context. When you ask about a specific silo, Cascade fetches the `get_silo_details` to verify grain type and sensor layout before reporting the status.

Autonomous Hotspot Detection

Let your agent monitor for danger using `get_hotspot_alerts`. Instead of manually checking sensors, you set a goal and Windsurf iterates through the alerts to flag issues before they turn into losses. When a warning appears, the agent cross-references `get_spoilage_risk` to estimate the timeline for intervention. It interprets the severity levels so you know exactly which silo requires your immediate attention.

Historical Trend Analysis

Cascade uses `get_temperature_history` and `get_humidity_history` to map out moisture migration over time. It identifies cooling patterns or heating spikes that indicate spoilage is starting inside the mass. By comparing this data against `get_sensor_health`, the agent ignores faulty readings from offline hardware. You get a clear picture of the trend without the noise of broken sensors.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Grain Watch MCP in Windsurf

Open your Windsurf settings and navigate to the Cascade MCP section. Paste the server details into your config file or use the built-in MCP manager to add the endpoint.

Yes. You just ask Cascade to list all silos. It uses `get_silos` to pull the current list and reports which ones have active alerts or maintenance needs.

Absolutely. If you ask about a specific bin, the agent filters the output using `get_alerts` with a silo ID. It isolates the warnings for that location only.

The server includes a `get_sensor_map` tool. It provides the exact depth and zone for every sensor so you can visualize the grain mass internally.

Your telemetry stays local to your session. Grain Watch only provides raw numerical data like temperature and humidity to your agent, which never leaves your secure Vinkius-managed connection.
