Windsurf Cascade MCP Server Integration

Cascade reads your request and immediately calls `get_performance_report` to pull aggregated impressions, clicks, and CTR across your ad network. You ask for last week's numbers, and the agent fetches the raw data without waiting for step-by-step instructions. Once the metrics arrive, the IDE formats them into a clean markdown table right in your workspace. You skip the AdButler dashboard entirely. Windsurf handles the API calls while you review the final output.

Map Publishers to Placements

Tracking down where ads actually run starts by executing `list_publishers` to pull your entire network directory into the context window. Cascade identifies the target publisher ID automatically based on your prompt. Next, the agent feeds that ID directly into `list_zones` to map out every active placement linked to that publisher. You get a complete hierarchy of inventory locations in seconds, ready for your next campaign configuration.

Audit Active Advertising Assets

Managing creative inventory happens right in your editor when you trigger `list_creatives` to dump the current library of banners and videos. The agent cross-references these assets with active and pending setups pulled via `list_campaigns`. You spot missing banners or outdated videos before launch day. Windsurf chains these checks together, giving you a full view of what is running versus what sits idle in your account.

Common questions about AdButler MCP in Windsurf

Open Settings, navigate to Cascade, and find the MCP Servers UI. You can add the server under the mcpServers array in your config file. Hit refresh in the panel to load the tools immediately.

Yes. You tell Cascade to pull the monthly summary, and it fires the report tool on its own. The agent structures the impressions and CTR data exactly how you asked.

Right now, it's strictly read-only. You can pull active setups or check banners, but building new records still requires the web interface or direct API calls.

Tell Cascade to check inventory for a specific partner. It'll grab the publisher ID first, then run the zone tool to return the active placements. You get the exact hierarchy without clicking through menus.

Vinkius isolates your ad performance metrics and publisher lists inside a V8 sandbox. The connection is ephemeral, meaning session data vanishes the moment execution finishes. Your endpoint token is the only credential passed, keeping your network statistics strictly confidential.
