Perplexity

Map out your entire site structure

The `get_site_tree` tool gives your agent the complete sitemap for any channel you point it at. It’s the architectural blueprint, showing how every page connects. Cascade uses this map to understand your site's layout before it starts working. Once Cascade has the map, it can use `get_page_layout` to inspect the modules on any specific page. This isn't just a list of URLs; it's a full structural breakdown that your agent can use to plan out complex, multi-step tasks across your site.

Pull any content item on demand

Give Cascade a goal like "Find the author bio for the latest blog post and summarize it." It will use `list_content_items` to get the recent posts, find the right one, then use `get_single_item` to pull the full article and its related author data. If you don't know an item's ID, that's not a problem. Cascade can use `search_content_reference` to find what it needs with just a keyword. It digs through your lists and finds the right content, so you don't have to.

Keep your data fresh with this MCP Server

This Agility CMS connection isn't just for one-off reads. You can tell Windsurf to keep a local project in sync with your live content. It uses `sync_incremental_items` and `sync_incremental_pages` to do it. Just set up a recurring task and Cascade will fetch only what's changed since the last run. You get fresh content and page structures without having to do a full, slow export every time. It’s perfect for building preview environments or feeding a static site generator.
