Real-time match analysis in Windsurf
Cascade watches your project context and hits `get_live_matches` to show you what high-ELO players are doing right now. It pulls the data straight into your editor so you can compare their performance against your own current build. You won't need to tab out to a browser. The agent handles the requests, letting you focus on analyzing the telemetry provided by `get_match_detail`.
Deep dive into 5E Arena player stats
Query specific player histories using `get_player_stats` and `get_match_history` to understand exactly how someone plays. Windsurf processes this JSON output to visualize trends in their weapon proficiency or map preference. Everything happens inside your workspace. Just ask Cascade to check a user via `search_player` and it handles the lookup instantly.
Automated tournament tracking
Keep tabs on official brackets by triggering `get_tournament_schedule` within your coding flow. It keeps your team updated on upcoming matches without manual refreshes. This MCP Server provides the raw schedule data for Cascade to interpret. You get the match times and team statuses delivered to your terminal output.
