Auto-map active global disasters with Cascade

The `get_natural_events` tool lets Cascade track global disasters autonomously. Instead of manually copying coordinates, you tell Windsurf to map current wildfires, and Cascade extracts the latitude and longitude to plot them in your workspace. Windsurf's autonomous agent doesn't stop with simple EONET tracking. Once Cascade spots a disaster, it automatically pings `get_event_categories` to classify the event type and links you directly to official source reports without you clicking a single button.

Windsurf chains satellite imagery dates for you

Using `get_epic_dates`, Cascade can scan NASA's database for available satellite imagery runs. This MCP Server changes the way you query planetary files by letting Windsurf locate available DSCOVR satellite runs, pick the right dates, and retrieve the exact coordinates in one go. You just ask Cascade for a visual history of a specific region, and Windsurf handles the multi-step loop. It pulls the image metadata via `get_epic_by_date` and organizes the planetary frames directly in your project files.

Pull live 1.5M km Earth views autonomously

The `get_epic_images` tool pulls full-disk views of the planet directly into your Windsurf workspace. By connecting this MCP Server to Windsurf, you let Cascade fetch both natural and color-calibrated imagery instantly. Cascade reads your DSCOVR prompt, figures out the required image type, and downloads the raw satellite feeds. You get immediate visual context of atmospheric events like dust storms or hurricanes right inside your Windsurf editor.

Setup guide

Set up NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events 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 NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events 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 NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about NASA Earth — Full-Disk Imagery & Natural Events MCP in Windsurf

You register the server in your Windsurf configuration under the `mcpServers` block. Once connected, Cascade auto-discovers all five tools and can immediately call them during conversational coding sessions to fetch DSCOVR imagery or track wildfires.

Yes, Cascade excels at chaining EONET and EPIC tools. You can tell Windsurf to find active volcanoes using `get_natural_events` and then immediately search for matching satellite imagery using `get_epic_by_date` without writing any glue code.

Windsurf passes your queries directly to the NASA endpoints, which operate under standard government rate limits. If you hit a wall while pulling DSCOVR images, you'll need to configure a personal NASA API key in your environment variables to keep Cascade running smoothly.

Absolutely, Windsurf can build full weather interfaces. You can ask Cascade to generate a web interface, and it will write the frontend code while pulling real-time storm or wildfire data directly from EONET.

Vinkius runs this MCP Server in an isolated sandbox, meaning your coordinates and event searches never leak. Only the raw geospatial coordinates and satellite image metadata requested from NASA's public servers are processed, keeping your Windsurf workspace completely private.
