How to Use the Maranhão Open Data MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf Cascade chain multiple Maranhão Open Data tools?

Yes. Cascade excels at multi-step tasks. It can run searchpackages to find a dataset, grab its ID, and immediately execute searchdatastore to pull specific rows without waiting for your next prompt.

Q: What happens if a Maranhão Open Data resource is too large?

Tell Cascade to filter the resource first using searchdatastore instead of downloading the whole file. This keeps your workspace clean and fast.

Get raw public records from Maranhão directly into your Windsurf workspace without writing API boilerplate.

Multi-step data harvesting in Windsurf

This MCP Server uses `list_packages` and `search_packages` to let Cascade autonomously locate Brazilian datasets. You tell the agent what public records you want, and it handles the search without requiring manual steps. Once it locates the dataset, Cascade automatically calls `get_package` to inspect the schema. From there, it targets the right resources and loads them directly into your active workspace.

Run SQL queries directly inside Cascade

The `search_datastore_sql` tool lets your Windsurf client execute raw SQL queries directly against the live database. You don't have to download massive CSV files just to run a quick count or filter. Ask Cascade a question about the budget, and it writes the SQL, runs the query, and parses the response. It handles the data retrieval behind the scenes so you can focus on finding the actual story or building your application.

Instant schema discovery for local code

Your agent uses the `get_resource` tool to instantly fetch metadata and structure details for your local code. No more guessing column names or data types. Your agent pulls the resource structure, maps it to your local code, and updates your project files in one fluid motion. It keeps your work grounded in real-world data definitions.
