How to Use the 15Five MCP in Windsurf
Connect the 15Five MCP Server to Windsurf and let Cascade pull team check-ins or OKRs directly into your editor context.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect 15Five MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect 15Five to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Read check-ins via MCP Server
Calling `list_checkins` pulls recent performance reports into your workspace. Cascade grabs this context to draft team summaries without making you switch tabs. Org charts map out instantly. The `list_departments` tool exposes team structures, telling Windsurf exactly who reports to whom.
Track company objectives
You can grab current OKRs in one step with `list_objectives`. Just ask for the engineering goals, and Cascade reads the active targets straight from the API. Building features requires context. Having this data inside your IDE means your agent writes code aligned with actual business priorities.
Send recognition automatically
Sending praise requires the `send_high_five` tool and a recipient email. Cascade drafts the message based on your recent commits and fires it off. Locating the right colleague takes seconds. The `list_users` tool finds the exact identifier so public praise goes to the actual author of the code.
