Course Management, Hands-Off

Tell Cascade to set up a new course. It will chain together `create_course`, `update_course` with your content, and even pull the structure with `get_course_curriculum` to confirm it's correct. You give one instruction, not a dozen. This isn't like other clients where you have to prompt every single action. With Windsurf, you define the end state. Cascade figures out the steps and executes them autonomously, so you can get back to your real work.

Administer Users Without the UI

Onboarding a new team is now a one-line command. Cascade can take a list of names, run `create_user` for each one, and then `enroll_student` them into the right introductory courses. You don't have to leave your IDE or open a browser tab. It's perfect for quickly provisioning accounts for a new cohort of students or instructors, and you can check the results with `get_user_details`.

Your AcademyOfMine MCP Server in Windsurf

Sometimes you just need to see what's going on in the LMS. Ask Cascade to 'list all active courses' and it'll use `list_courses` to pull the data right into your editor. Same goes for getting a roster with `list_users`. This MCP Server connects Windsurf directly to your AcademyOfMine instance. You can even check system-wide configurations with `get_portal_settings`. It's about having the information you need, right where you're already working.

Common questions about AcademyOfMine MCP in Windsurf

Use the built-in MCP Marketplace in Windsurf for a one-click install. Or, add the server URL to your `mcp_config.json` and hit refresh in the MCP panel. Cascade will find the tools automatically.

Yes. That's exactly what Cascade is for. You can tell it "Create a course named 'Advanced Git' and enroll the engineering team," and it will use the `create_course` and `enroll_student` tools to do it.

The autonomous agent, Cascade. Other clients make you trigger each tool one-by-one. With Windsurf, you state a goal and Cascade chains multiple tools together to achieve it without further input.

Absolutely. Just ask Cascade to "show me all the courses" and it will use the `list_courses` tool to fetch the data and display it for you.

The server only processes the data needed for a specific tool, like user profiles or course details. Vinkius runs each MCP Server in a sandboxed, ephemeral environment. Your connection is authenticated with a token, and the server itself doesn't store your data after the operation is complete.
