How to Use the INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Cascade use INPE (STAC API - Satélites) in Windsurf to find cloud-free images?

Cascade calls searchitems with your specific cloud cover threshold and coordinate box. It then filters the returned JSON payload to find the clearest orbital passes. You get a clean list of image assets directly in your chat panel.

Q: How do I inspect the spatial footprint of S2-16D-2 imagery?

Tell Cascade to run getcollection on that specific ID. It will parse the spatial extent polygon and output the bounding box coordinates directly in your workspace.

Fetch Brazil's latest satellite imagery directly into your Windsurf workspace for automated geospatial pipelines.

Map Amazon deforestation trends with Windsurf

This MCP Server exposes `list_collections` so Cascade can run multi-step imagery searches without waiting for your input. By identifying the right CBERS-4 sensor, your agent grabs the exact collection ID autonomously. Once it has the ID, Cascade executes `search_items` to pull coordinates and cloud cover data. You get a ready-to-run Python script that maps the forest canopy, all from a single prompt.

Auto-generate STAC queries in Windsurf

Using `get_collection` through this MCP Server lets Cascade inspect metadata structures and instantly write the correct bounding box filters. Stop manually writing raw HTTP requests to Brazil's Space Research Institute. The agent checks the collection's temporal bounds and spatial footprint before drafting any code. You avoid bad requests because Windsurf validates the STAC schema against `get_conformance` beforehand.

Track CBERS-4 overpass times autonomously

This MCP Server exposes `get_root_catalog` so Cascade can chain tools to find when a satellite last swept over your target coordinates. It initiates the sequence by hitting the base STAC endpoint to verify the API is alive. Right after, Cascade fires `list_collection_items` to pull the latest orbital swaths. You see the exact timestamp of the last pass without having to dig through INPE's online portal yourself.

Setup guide

Set up INPE (STAC API - Satélites) 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 INPE (STAC API - Satélites) 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 INPE (STAC API - Satélites) payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the INPE (STAC API - Satélites) tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about INPE (STAC API - Satélites) MCP in Windsurf

Cascade calls `search_items` with your specific cloud cover threshold and coordinate box. It then filters the returned JSON payload to find the clearest orbital passes. You get a clean list of image assets directly in your chat panel.

Yes, Cascade can write and execute complete Python scripts that pull from this API. The agent uses `list_collection_items` to fetch metadata and writes the code to download the corresponding bands.

Cascade detects the HTTP 429 status code returned by the STAC gateway. It automatically writes a retry-after backoff loop into its execution plan to resume the metadata pull without crashing your session.

Tell Cascade to run `get_collection` on that specific ID. It will parse the spatial extent polygon and output the bounding box coordinates directly in your workspace.

No. Your bounding boxes and collection queries go directly to Brazil's public STAC API through a secure V8 sandbox. None of your local geospatial coordinates or workspace paths are ever stored or shared.
