Perplexity

Chain complex data queries with Windsurf

Cascade handles the heavy lifting when you need to cross-reference state data. You can start by running `list_organizations` to map the departmental hierarchy, then pass those identifiers into `get_organization` to isolate specific research domains. Windsurf chains these calls automatically. It builds a clear path from a broad search to the exact metadata you need without requiring a manual prompt for every single step.

Deep integration for Minas Gerais (Estado) datasets

Stop hunting through web portals. Use `search_packages` to filter by keyword or `list_tags` to uncover hidden connections between datasets. Once you identify a target, `get_package` pulls the full metadata record into your editor context. This workflow keeps your focus on the code. You get raw access to the state's data structure while Cascade handles the underlying tool execution.

Rapid resource inspection using this MCP Server

Need a specific file? Use `search_resources` to find download links based on your current project requirements. When you find the right match, `get_resource` pulls the technical specs and direct access links instantly. This server turns the Minas Gerais (Estado) data repository into a local resource. You define the goal, and Windsurf navigates the portal's API structure to return the payload.
