Search your site content in Windsurf

Cascade uses `search_keyword` and `search_filtered` to pull relevant documentation or site data into your current context. You get immediate answers based on your live search index without leaving the editor. This MCP Server lets you skip manual lookups. When you need specific site data, just ask Cascade to find it.

Manage your index through Windsurf

Update your site content by triggering `index_document` directly from your file explorer. If a page goes stale, use `delete_document` to remove it from the index instantly. Everything stays synced. You don't need to touch a dashboard when you can drive the updates from your IDE.

Review analytics inside Windsurf

Run `stats_queries` or `stats_clicks` to see what your users are actually looking for. You'll spot trends in your search data without switching windows. This helps you adjust your index strategy. You see the gaps in your search performance while you write the code to fix them.

Common questions about AddSearch MCP in Windsurf

Open your MCP panel and ensure the server is active. Once connected, ask Cascade to search your index using keywords or filters. It will run the tool and show you the results in the chat.

Yes. You just need to provide your secret key in the server configuration. Once set, you can push documents to your index using the provided tools.

It does. You can pass field-specific parameters to the search tools. This lets you narrow down results by brand, category, or any other metadata you have indexed.

Call the stats tools directly through the chat. The server returns the raw numbers, which Cascade interprets for you.

Your documents and search logs remain strictly between your index and the API. We don't store your content, and all sensitive API keys stay within your local configuration files.
