Run Full Insurance Scenarios

Stop running calculations one by one. Tell Windsurf your goal, like "figure out my corn insurance options for Adair County." Cascade takes over from there. It automatically checks if your farm is eligible with `validate_insurance_eligibility`, finds the right premium with `lookup_premium_rate`, and then runs the final numbers using `calculate_insurance_metrics`. You get the complete picture without prompting each step.

Explore What-If Scenarios

Wondering how a different crop or coverage level impacts your bottom line? You don't have to re-run the whole process. Just change a parameter in your prompt. Windsurf's Cascade agent is smart enough to see what changed. It re-executes only the necessary tools from this MCP to give you an updated liability, premium, and subsidy estimate.

Connect to Your Farm Data

This MCP Server works best when connected to your other data sources. You can have Cascade pull your planting records from a spreadsheet or another MCP first. Then, it feeds that data directly into the Crop Insurance Calculator tools. This gets you a real-world analysis based on your actual farm data, not just generic examples.
