What is the EPA Envirofacts (Environmental Data) MCP Server?
Connect to the EPA Envirofacts database to query a wealth of environmental information directly from the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
What you can do
- UV Index Forecasts — Retrieve hourly and daily UV Index forecasts by ZIP code or City/State to monitor solar radiation levels.
- Facility Research — Query the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) and Superfund (SEMS) databases to find environmental records for specific sites.
- Advanced Data Exploration — Use GraphQL to perform complex queries, aggregations, and cross-table analysis across the EPA's DMAP API.
- Flexible REST Queries — Search any table in the Envirofacts database with custom filters, operators, and pagination.
- Public Data Access — Access official government records on air, water, and waste without complex registration.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- No private API key is required for public EPA data access
- Start querying environmental metrics from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Environmental Researchers — quickly pull data from TRI or SEMS for impact analysis and reporting
- Health & Safety Professionals — monitor UV radiation levels to provide accurate safety guidance
- Developers & Data Scientists — integrate official government environmental data into applications via GraphQL or REST

Frequently asked questions
How can I check the UV Index for a specific location?
Use the uv_hourly_zip or uv_hourly_city_state tools. Simply provide a 5-digit US ZIP code or the city name and 2-letter state abbreviation to receive the latest hourly forecast data.
Can I search for specific facilities in the EPA database?
Yes! Use the rest_query tool. You can specify tables like 'tri.tri_facility' or 'sems.envirofacts_site' and apply filters using operators like 'equals' or 'contains' to find specific sites and their environmental records.
Does this server support complex data aggregations?
Absolutely. The graphql_query tool allows you to execute custom GraphQL strings to perform advanced data fetching, aggregations, and subqueries across the EPA's DMAP API infrastructure.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
