Map your Airbyte architecture in Windsurf

Cascade uses `list_workspaces` to map out exactly where your data lives. You don't have to bounce between browser tabs to find out which environment is running. Ask your AI client to audit your setup. It pulls everything using `list_sources` and `list_destinations` so you know exactly what is feeding into your warehouse before writing a single line of SQL.

Track syncs with this MCP Server

Data pipelines break. When they do, Cascade runs `list_connections` to find the culprit fast. Instead of digging through logs manually, just ask what failed. The agent fires off `get_connection` to pull the exact configuration details, letting you fix broken mappings without leaving your code.

Audit job history automatically

Finding out why a specific sync stalled takes seconds. Windsurf calls `list_jobs` to grab the recent execution history for any connection. You get the exact run status right in your IDE terminal. If a source looks suspicious, `get_source` pulls the configuration so you can spot authentication errors or schema changes instantly.

Prerequisites

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

Common questions about Airbyte MCP in Windsurf

Open your MCP panel and click the Marketplace tab for a one-click install. You can also edit the configuration file manually. Hit refresh, and Cascade will see your pipeline tools immediately.

No, this server is read-only. Cascade can monitor your pipelines using `list_jobs` and `get_connection`, but it cannot trigger new syncs or delete configurations.

Your API token might be missing or expired. Check that your credentials are set correctly in the MCP Server settings. Once updated, the agent will pull your environments via `list_workspaces`.

Yes. Point the server at your local instance URL instead of the cloud endpoint. The tools work exactly the same regardless of where your infrastructure lives.
