How to Use the Affinda MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use Affinda to parse resumes?

Cascade executes createdocument to upload a resume URL, waits for the extraction, and feeds the JSON directly into your project files.

Q: Can I map Affinda workspace structures in Windsurf?

Yes, Cascade runs listworkspaces to identify your container folders and organizes your local files to match.

Q: Does the Affinda MCP Server support custom schemas in Windsurf?

Querying listdocumenttypes allows Cascade to check what models your account supports. It then builds custom validation rules in your code.

Q: Can Windsurf update my database with Affinda data?

Database updates happen when Cascade chains getdocument with your local scripts.

Feed parsed invoice, resume, and ID data straight into your active Windsurf workspace with this Affinda MCP Server integration.

Automate Document Parsing in Windsurf

To start document extraction, Windsurf triggers `create_document` to send public URLs of PDFs or images directly to Affinda. Cascade handles the synchronous wait, meaning you get raw, structured Affinda JSON back in your Windsurf session without writing API wrapper code. After the Affinda extraction finishes, Cascade updates your local mock files or seeds your Windsurf database with the payload. Tell the Windsurf agent to parse a folder of resumes, and it loops through this Affinda tool to populate your schema.

Audit Files Across Affinda Workspaces

When mapping project structures, Windsurf uses `list_workspaces` to align your local directories with your Affinda container folders. Cascade maps these Affinda containers directly to your Windsurf project's directory hierarchy, ensuring documents land in the correct team folders. After identifying the target Affinda workspace, the Windsurf agent runs `list_documents` to check processing statuses. Failed Affinda uploads or incomplete parses show up directly in your active Windsurf terminal session.

Windsurf MCP Server Model Validation

Before generating code, Windsurf queries `list_document_types` to check which Affinda parsing models are active on your account. Cascade reads this Affinda list to determine how to format your extracted data models inside Windsurf. If a specific Affinda schema changes, `get_document` fetches the exact JSON structure of any processed file into Windsurf. Writing matching TypeScript interfaces happens on the fly as the Windsurf agent inspects the live Affinda output.

Setup guide
