Perplexity

Autonomous dataset discovery

Cascade scans the INEP catalog to find relevant educational datasets without manual browsing. It uses `list_packages` and `search_packages` to map out available Censo Escolar and ENEM records. You provide the research goal and Windsurf chains the necessary tool calls. It handles the discovery phase so you can jump straight into the data analysis.

Direct SQL access for Windsurf

Run complex queries against raw government data using `search_datastore_sql` inside your editor. You get the exact performance metrics or demographic data you need by writing standard SQL queries. Windsurf interprets the results instantly. It turns raw table responses into usable context for building your dashboard or report.

Resource metadata management

Expose granular organization and group details using `get_organization` and `get_group` tools. This gives your agent a full map of the INEP data hierarchy. Everything remains linked within your workspace. You stop guessing where specific census resources live and let the MCP server handle the lookup.
