How to Use the Ada MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use Ada tools to update help docs?

Cascade calls createarticle to draft new documentation in Windsurf when it detects code changes that alter user workflows. It reads your updated codebase, generates the matching support text, and pushes it to Ada in one autonomous Windsurf run.

Q: Can I inspect Ada support chats directly in Windsurf?

Yes, you can. The listconversations tool lets Cascade fetch live Ada chat logs so you can debug client-reported errors without leaving your Windsurf editor.

Q: Can Cascade query specific customer profiles?

Yes, Cascade uses getenduser in Windsurf to pull Ada profile details and custom metavariables. It matches this Ada data with your local Windsurf debugging tools to see exactly what the customer saw during their session.

Let Cascade autonomously fix support gaps by updating Ada articles and diagnosing user issues directly in Windsurf.

Auto-patch Support Gaps with Windsurf and Ada

The `create_article` tool lets Windsurf write and upload new help documents directly to your Ada knowledge base via our managed MCP. When Cascade notices recurring customer issues in your codebase, it drafts the fix, writes the support doc, and pushes it to Ada without you typing a prompt. By chaining this Ada tool with your local git history, Cascade finds support gaps. It finds the exact code change that broke a feature, drafts a temporary workaround article, and pushes it to your live Ada bot in seconds.

Map Support Context to Local Code via MCP Server

The `list_conversations` tool pulls active and historical chat logs directly into your Windsurf workspace. Cascade reads these raw customer conversations to isolate bugs, matching user complaints to specific lines of code in your editor. Instead of searching through external support dashboards, you let Cascade scan the Ada chat transcripts to find what broke. It maps the error messages customers report to your backend logs, pinpointing the broken endpoint instantly.

Debug User Profiles with Cascade

The `get_end_user` tool retrieves custom metavariables and profile data for any specific Ada customer. Cascade uses this tool to pull the exact user state when debugging a ticket, comparing their metadata against your database schema. Chaining this Ada profile lookup with local database queries inside Windsurf helps you verify state. It checks if a user's subscription flag in Ada matches your production database, fixing sync errors without context switching.

Setup guide

Set up Ada MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Ada MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
