How to Use the 4YouSee MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf automatically reboot a broken 4YouSee player?

No, the server doesn't have a reboot tool. Cascade can use getplayer to inspect the player's status and write a diagnostic script, but it can't force a hardware restart.

Q: Can I check user permissions with this setup?

Yes. The listusers tool lets your agent pull the current list of platform users and groups to verify who has access to your signage network.

Control your digital signage network directly from Windsurf by letting Cascade audit players and organize media.

Automated Signage Audits with Cascade

The `list_players` tool gets a complete list of your digital screens so Cascade can check which ones need attention. Cascade automatically chains this with `get_player` to pull detailed monitoring data for offline screens without you asking. Instead of clicking through a web console, you tell your IDE to find offline players. Your agent identifies the broken screens, matches them against templates, and suggests fixes in one go.

Media Library Audits inside Windsurf

The `list_medias` tool retrieves all active media files currently deployed to your digital signage network. Cascade uses this list to cross-reference file sizes and formats against your active player specs. You don't have to manually inspect assets. Your agent builds a report of heavy videos, flags outdated files, and keeps your screens running light.

Sync Templates via Windsurf MCP Server

The `list_templates` tool pulls your layout and news templates directly into your development workspace via the MCP Server. Cascade reads these templates to write code that matches your physical display layouts exactly. This workflow eliminates layout guessing games. Your agent checks the templates, drafts the content updates, and prepares them for deployment in seconds.
