How to Use the Aidbase MCP in Windsurf
Let Windsurf's Cascade agent manage your Aidbase chatbots and knowledge bases without you lifting a finger.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Aidbase MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Aidbase to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Build a knowledge base without leaving your IDE
This MCP Server connects Aidbase directly to Windsurf. You can point Cascade at a new documentation site and tell it to update the knowledge base. It'll use `add_aidbase_website_knowledge` to ingest the whole thing. Then, you can feed it a list of questions and answers. Cascade will automatically call `add_aidbase_faq_item` for each one, populating your support system while you work on something else. It checks what's already there with `list_aidbase_knowledge` so you don't get duplicates. This isn't about running one command at a time—it's about giving your agent a goal and letting it work.
Manage chatbots and inboxes with Windsurf
Get a full picture of your Aidbase setup right from your editor. Ask Windsurf to `list_aidbase_chatbots` or `list_aidbase_inboxes` and it'll pull a complete list. Need to dig into one? `get_aidbase_chatbot` fetches the details for a specific bot. Because Windsurf can chain commands, you can ask more complex questions. For instance, "Find the chatbot with the most complex knowledge base and show me its sources." Cascade will figure out it needs to use `list_aidbase_chatbots` and `list_aidbase_chatbot_knowledge` to get you the answer, no prompting required.
Check system status instantly
When something feels off with your customer support, the first question is always: is the service down? Instead of opening a browser and navigating to a status page, just ask Windsurf. The `check_aidbase_status` tool gives you an immediate answer on the Aidbase API's health. It's a simple, fast diagnostic that saves you a few clicks. That's a few more seconds you can spend actually fixing the problem.
