Connect Tomorrow.io Plus MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Tomorrow.io Plus to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Visualize Forecasts and History
Need to show how a location's weather has changed? You can get detailed historical data for the last 24 hours using `get_recent_history_weather`. Cascade figures out the sequence: it grabs the history, then uses that context to fetch an hourly forecast via `get_forecast_weather`. This works great when you're building a dashboard. The agent chains these steps automatically—you just set the goal, and Windsurf handles the data retrieval flow.
Check for Active Weather Alerts
Setting up an app that warns users about bad weather? Use `list_alerts` to check every active warning based on specific locations. The MCP Server pulls this list, and Cascade can then use the location data to fetch current conditions with `get_realtime_weather`. It's a two-step process: first, identify *if* there are alerts; second, pull the live details for those areas. This keeps your app accurate.
Map Complex Weather Patterns
You can't just show points on a map—you need tiles and geometry data. The agent uses `get_map_tile` to pull the visual background, while also running `post_timelines` if you have complex areas defined by GeoJSON geometries. If your goal is 'show weather for this polygon,' Windsurf handles both the tile retrieval and the specific temporal data fetching in one shot. It's built for multi-tool planning.
