Chain grid data with Cascade

Windsurf allows you to link multiple operations to track grid health. You can use `get_system_load` alongside `get_fuel_mix` to see exactly what is powering the region during a spike. Cascade handles the heavy lifting by calling these tools in sequence. It builds a complete picture of the current state of ISO New England without you needing to write manual scripts.

Automate market price monitoring

Stop refreshing dashboards to watch price movements. You can direct Windsurf to pull `get_lmp` data whenever the market conditions change. This MCP Server provides the raw numbers your agent needs to make sense of the market. You get the data you need to decide if today is the right time to adjust your energy usage.

Forecast demand with precision

Planning for the week ahead requires more than a guess. Use `get_seven_day_forecast` to pull the latest grid stress projections straight into your workspace. Windsurf reads these values and helps you prepare for upcoming volatility. It is a direct line to the data that keeps the lights on across New England.
