About Mapulus MCP Server
Connect your Mapulus account to any AI agent and access deep Australian location intelligence through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Mapulus tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 9 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Statistical Boundaries — Search and list suburbs, postcodes, LGAs, and other Australian geographies
- Demographic Data — Retrieve ABS Census-derived insights on population, income, and housing
- Spatial Analytics — Generate isochrones (catchment areas) and query H3 hexagonal indices
- Location Enrichment — Enrich any lat/lon coordinate with detailed geographic and statistical context
The Mapulus MCP Server exposes 9 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Mapulus MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Mapulus through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 9 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Mapulus + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Mapulus MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Mapulus and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Mapulus tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Mapulus and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Mapulus data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
