Diagnose exceptions with Windsurf Cascade

Cascade does the heavy lifting when an alert fires. Instead of opening a browser tab to hunt down a stack trace, you just ask your IDE what went wrong. The agent calls `list_error_groups` to pull the top offenders from your active environment. Once it finds the spike, Cascade chains another action. It runs `get_error_group` to grab the specific lines of failing code, reads your local files, and writes a patch. You review the fix right in your editor while the agent handles the context gathering.

Track project deployments via MCP Server

Knowing which release broke production saves hours of guessing. Connect this MCP Server, and your AI client instantly sees your deployment history across every environment. It uses `list_deploys` to match recent commits against the timeline of reported exceptions. When you push a hotfix, Cascade can automatically register it. It calls `track_deploy` to tell Airbrake the new version is live. You never have to switch context to update your monitoring dashboards.

Investigate specific error notices

Sometimes a high-level summary hides the real issue. You need the exact payload that triggered the crash. Your agent pulls individual event details using `list_notices`, grabbing the environment variables and user parameters from the exact moment of failure. It then cross-references those variables with your local configuration files. If a missing API key caused the crash, Cascade spots the missing variable, adds it to your `.env` file, and asks you to restart the dev server.

Setup guide

Set up Airbrake MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Airbrake MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Airbrake payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Airbrake tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Airbrake MCP in Windsurf

Open your IDE settings and navigate to Cascade's MCP Servers UI. You can also edit `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` directly. Add the Vinkius endpoint URL under the `mcpServers` block and click Refresh.

Yes. You can tell Cascade to monitor a specific project. It will periodically run `check_airbrake_status` and `list_error_groups` to alert you if a new bug surfaces while you write code.

It handles as many environments as you have configured. The agent calls `list_environments` to find the right context, whether you need to debug staging or check production.

Cascade can log errors directly from your local testing sessions. If a background script fails during development, the agent uses `report_notice` to push that stack trace straight to your dashboard.

This connection only accesses your error stack traces, deployment logs, and project configurations. Vinkius isolates this data in a V8 sandbox that spins down immediately after Cascade finishes its request. Your source code never leaves your machine.
