Autonomous geomagnetic monitoring in Windsurf

Cascade can chain `get_planetary_k_index` and `get_dst_index` to flag dangerous geomagnetic storms before they hit your equipment. Instead of checking dashboards, you just ask if the grid is safe. The agent interprets real-time solar wind data via `get_solar_wind` to determine if a storm is actually building. It handles the logic so you stay focused on your primary codebase.

Real-time solar flux tracking for your projects

Windsurf uses `get_solar_flux` to track radio interference risks for your communication projects. It pulls the F10.7 index automatically to verify if current solar activity might disrupt your hardware testing. By comparing these flux values against historical patterns, the AI identifies when to pause sensitive operations. It keeps your hardware safe without requiring manual intervention.

Predictive aurora planning with Windsurf

Use `get_aurora_forecast` to visualize the Ovation model and pinpoint exactly where the lights will appear. Cascade processes the map data to give you a specific go-no-go recommendation for your trip. It cross-references this with `get_k_index_forecast` to ensure you aren't chasing a dud. You get a clear, data-backed plan instead of guessing based on static weather reports.

Setup guide

Set up NOAA Space Weather — Solar & Geomagnetic Intelligence 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 NOAA Space Weather — Solar & Geomagnetic Intelligence 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 NOAA Space Weather — Solar & Geomagnetic Intelligence payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the NOAA Space Weather — Solar & Geomagnetic Intelligence tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about NOAA Space Weather — Solar & Geomagnetic Intelligence MCP in Windsurf

Open your MCP settings within the Windsurf interface and add the server configuration. Once saved, Cascade will automatically detect the tools and begin pulling live data.

Yes, you can instruct the agent to run periodic checks on the K-index. It will notify you as soon as the thresholds you set are breached.

The server pulls data directly from the NOAA SWPC feed. This is the same source used by professional meteorologists and satellite operators.

No. The server communicates directly with the public NOAA endpoints. You just need to connect the endpoint in your configuration file.

It doesn't collect your personal data. The server only transmits requests for public solar wind, geomagnetic index, and aurora forecast metrics.
