Use the Universities List MCP Server to locate schools.

You set a goal, and Cascade handles the search. If you need universities by name or country, just tell it. The agent invokes `search_universities` and returns a clean list of higher education institutions. It's perfect for when you don't want to manually chain API calls together. You state your query—say, 'find all engineering schools in Germany'—and Cascade runs the full sequence.

Windsurf: Search universities by name or country.

Need a global dataset? The `search_universities` tool lets you look up institutions using either their name or their location. This works whether you're building a research dashboard or just checking credentials. Forget manual database queries. Cascade plugs into the MCP Server, pulls the data for you, and shows it in context so you can keep working immediately.

The agent makes sure you get accurate data every time. It executes the `search_universities` call and provides structured results right where you're working.
