Cascade MCP server

Which MCP servers are Cascade's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry nameindustries.cascade/ephemerisverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under cascade.industries. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-26 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 1007 ms.

  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
  • Checked on 2 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

What an agent can do with it

  • can do · forecast retail demand and inventory levels
  • not sure · forecast energy grid load and machine wear
  • not sure · check how strong a forecast's evidence is

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • get_version

    Read this deployed MCP server's version, nullable build commit and supported saved forecast schema versions. Call with {}. No API key, account access, inference, charges or writes; network access to this server only. Returns component…

  • describe_forecast

    Deterministic calculations from a complete ephemeris.forecast v1 artifact object, including CLI artifacts. No inference or forecast charge; this hosted tool still receives data over the network. Returns scope, result, basis, limitations…

  • plot_forecast

    Render a complete ephemeris.forecast v1 artifact object as PNG (default inline preview) or SVG (embedded resource to save). No inference or forecast charge; hosted processing receives the artifact over the network. Example: {artifact…

  • forecast

    Submit numeric observations to forecast future sampling steps. Spends credits on successful calls. Choose and retain idempotency_key before submitting; no automatic retries, replay depends on server retention. Minimal example: {mode…

  • list_models

    Discover the model panel: each model's availability right now (healthy), capabilities (multivariate, covariates, max_horizon, auto_max_horizon), its weight in an ensemble at each horizon, pinned and actually served weight revision, price…

  • get_balance

    Return the account's spendable credit balance in millicredits, excluding credits reserved by in-progress forecasts. 1000 millicredits equal one credit.

  • get_usage

    Return the account's forecast request log, newest first, with the mode, models used, series count, horizon, credits estimated and settled, HTTP status and latency of each request.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ephemeris": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ephemeris.cascade.industries/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http cascade https://ephemeris.cascade.industries/api/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://ephemeris.cascade.industries/api/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Also shipped through: npm

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
