Map NWS Event Data with Windsurf
The `get_active_alerts` tool lets Cascade pull live weather warnings directly into your workspace. You tell Windsurf to build a state-level dashboard, and this MCP server queries the NWS by 2-letter state codes to fetch extreme, severe, or moderate threat levels. Cascade doesn't stop at the initial query. It runs `get_alert_types` to discover all 120+ valid event categories, then automatically writes the filtering logic for tornado warnings and flood advisories without waiting for your input.
Pinpoint Threat Coordinates
The `get_alerts_by_point` tool resolves specific US latitude and longitude coordinates to active weather hazards. When you ask Windsurf to validate a delivery route, Cascade passes the waypoints to this endpoint. It immediately checks for intersecting storm cells or winter weather advisories. The agent extracts the geometry data from the response and injects the collision logic straight into your application's routing service.
Monitor Specific NWS Zones
The `get_alerts_by_zone` tool targets precise National Weather Service geographic identifiers like TXZ211 or FLZ050. Cascade uses this to build focused monitoring scripts for regional facilities. You specify the target regions in your prompt. Windsurf writes the polling mechanism, connects the zone data to your notification system, and tests the output format—all in one continuous execution loop.
