How to Use the NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I install the NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System MCP Server in Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file or use the Settings UI under Cascade. Add the server details, click Refresh in the MCP panel, and Cascade will auto-discover the tools immediately.

Q: Can Cascade use NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System to build data visualizations in Windsurf?

Yes. Tell your agent to pull data using getplanetstats and write a React component to chart the discovery trends. It handles the data fetch and the code generation in one go.

Q: Does NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System in Windsurf include Kepler and TESS targets?

It covers both. The gettransitplanets tool specifically targets discoveries from these two primary transit missions, giving your agent direct access to the bulk of confirmed planets.

Give Windsurf direct access to 5,700+ confirmed exoplanets so Cascade can autonomously query and analyze deep space data.

Analyze habitable zones with Windsurf

The `get_habitable_zone` tool gives your agent instant access to the shortlist of planets capable of supporting liquid water. Cascade can pull this specific subset without you needing to wire up a custom MCP Server. Once it grabs the habitable candidates, Cascade can automatically cross-reference them using `get_planet_stats`. It reads the 30-year discovery trends and writes a complete statistical breakdown of how our detection of Earth-like worlds has accelerated since 2009.

Process transit mission data

The `get_transit_planets` tool exposes the massive datasets generated by Kepler and TESS. Transit detections account for more than 75% of all known exoplanets, and now your IDE can pull that exact catalog directly into your workspace. Cascade doesn't stop at fetching the list. It can parse thousands of transit records, extract the relevant orbital periods, and generate Python scripts to visualize the light-curve dips that indicate planetary bodies.

Query the MCP Server by facility

The `query_confirmed_planets` tool lets Windsurf filter the entire NASA database by discovery method, facility, or year. You just tell Cascade you want to see everything found by the Keck Observatory in 2015. The agent formulates the query, executes it, and returns the specific mass, radius, and equilibrium temperatures for those targets. It handles the entire data retrieval pipeline while you focus on what to build with the results.

Setup guide

Set up NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System 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 Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System 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 Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Yes. Tell your agent to pull data using `get_planet_stats` and write a React component to chart the discovery trends. It handles the data fetch and the code generation in one go.

It returns the planet's orbital period, radius, mass, and equilibrium temperature. Cascade can map these fields directly into your database schema or frontend interfaces.

It covers both. The `get_transit_planets` tool specifically targets discoveries from these two primary transit missions, giving your agent direct access to the bulk of confirmed planets.

This MCP Server only reads public astronomical records like orbital periods and discovery methods. Vinkius runs the connection in an ephemeral V8 isolate sandbox, meaning your local project files never mix with the NASA query traffic.
