Built-in capabilities (6)
Available at select CO-OPS stations with current meters. Get observed ocean current speed and direction at a US coastal station
Complements water-level data for a complete coastal picture. Get coastal meteorological data: air temp, wind, pressure at a station
Shows long-term relative sea level trends calculated from decades of tide gauge data. Critical for climate research. Get long-term sea level rise trends for a US coastal station
Provides predicted high and low tide times and heights. Useful for fishing, boating, coastal activities. Default is next 48 hours. Get tide predictions (hi/lo) for a US coastal station
Data in meters relative to station datum. Provide a CO-OPS station ID (e.g., 8518750 for The Battery, NYC; 9414290 for San Francisco). Get observed water levels (tides) at a US coastal station
Useful for marine biology, fishing, surfing, and coastal research. Get water temperature at a US coastal station

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my nearest CO-OPS station?
Visit tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/map to find your nearest station and its ID number. Major stations include 8518750 (NYC), 9414290 (San Francisco), 8723214 (Virginia Key, Miami).
What is CO-OPS?
CO-OPS stands for Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services, a branch of NOAA that manages a national network of coastal stations providing marine environmental data.
Can I get long-term sea level trends?
Yes, the API provides sea level rise trends calculated over decades of data, offering precise measurements of relative sea level changes in millimeters per year at specific coastal stations.
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.
Server not connecting
Check Settings → MCP for the server status. Try toggling it off and on.
