Full State Profile Generation for Windsurf

Need a complete picture of a state? The `get_state_profile` tool handles it. It runs one query and gives you population, income, housing data, and demographics all at once. You can chain this with other tools—for example, running `get_income_by_county` right after to drill down from the state level to specific county economic details.

Economic Activity Analysis with Windsurf

Figure out local business concentration using `get_business_patterns`. This tool pulls data on establishments, employees, and payroll directly from County Business Patterns (CBP). If you're analyzing an economic trend, you can follow up by running `get_income_by_county` to see if the median household income supports that level of local activity. The MCP Server makes this multi-step process automatic.

Deep Population Tracking via Windsurf

When you need population figures, start with `get_population_by_state`. This gives the total count and median age for all 50 states plus DC. If your goal is more granular—say, comparing adjacent counties—you can run `get_population_by_county` using state FIPS codes to compare population metrics across a region.
