Perplexity

Green hosting lookup for Windsurf

Cascade uses the `check_green_hosting` tool to ping the Green Web Foundation database. It identifies if a server runs on renewable energy or fossil fuels before you start your next sprint. You feed a domain to the agent. It returns the green energy status, the hosting provider, and the verification timestamp instantly.

Automated sustainability auditing

Stop guessing about the carbon impact of your project dependencies. This MCP server lets your agent audit every site you link in your documentation. Cascade chains this data into your workflow. If a domain flags as non-green, the agent flags it for manual review or replacement.

Context-aware energy reporting

Windsurf maintains context across your files. By hooking this tool into the IDE, you get real-time sustainability insights alongside your code. It pulls the `check_green_hosting` data into your active chat window. You see the energy status of your production endpoints without leaving your editor.
