How to Use the UK Environment Agency MCP in Cursor

Q: What kind of sensor readings are available via UK Environment Agency tools in Cursor?

The server supports fetching actual readings by calling liststationreadings for any given station. The AI injects these live, quantifiable figures directly into the code you're writing.

Integrate Live Flood Data Into Code

Need to write a script that checks flood levels? Let the AI use `list_floods` to pull active warning status and inject it into your working function. The data is real, pulled from the UK Environment Agency. Don't just stub it out. You can call `get_flood` to get specific details—like flow rates or expected rise times—and use those values in your code logic.

Build Station Data Lookups

Working on a monitoring app? Use the agent mode to execute `list_stations`, getting an array of all active EA sites. You can then loop through this list and use `get_station` for each one. The AI will handle that complex data fetching, letting you build accurate code that reflects current UK Environment Agency assets.

Map Measurement Configurations

If your project needs to know which metrics are tracked, let the agent run `list_measures` first. This gives you a definitive list of available parameters from the EA. You can then write code that specifically uses `get_measure` to pull configuration details for any metric—like water temperature or flow velocity.

Setup guide

Set up UK Environment Agency MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the UK Environment Agency MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent UK Environment Agency transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the UK Environment Agency tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

Common questions about UK Environment Agency MCP in Cursor

You set up the server in your project scope by adding it to `.cursor/mcp.json`. When you're mid-coding, activating Agent mode allows the AI to call these functions and get live data context.

Yes. The unique power is that the agent generates working code using real API responses—not mock stubs. You can write production-ready functions pulling live data from the EA.

The server supports fetching actual readings by calling `list_station_readings` for any given station. The AI injects these live, quantifiable figures directly into the code you're writing.

The tools pull real-time flood monitoring and sensor readings directly from the agency via the MCP protocol. You get live context, not historical or simulated data.

This server touches station reading data, specifically the actual measurement configuration details and readings associated with individual flood monitoring stations. Data is pulled through the secure agent process.
