How to Use the Akash Network (Decentralized GPU & Cloud API) MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf deploy to the Akash Network (Decentralized GPU & Cloud API)?

Cascade reads your local SDL manifest and uses createdeployment to launch it. It then automatically polls for bids and creates the active lease for you.

Q: Can Windsurf automate escrow funding on the Akash Network (Decentralized GPU & Cloud API)?

Yes, Cascade uses adddeposit to add USD funds to your escrow. You can also configure automated rules using enableautotopup to prevent GPU downtime.

Q: How do I monitor active container leases in Windsurf using this MCP Server?

Cascade uses listdeployments and getdeployment to pull live status reports directly into your chat panel. You can inspect container logs and resource usage without leaving your IDE.

Q: What happens if a provider bid takes too long?

The listbids tool polls the network. Since bids typically arrive within 30 to 60 seconds, Cascade waits and automatically selects the best option to execute createlease.

Spin up decentralized GPUs on Akash Network directly from Windsurf by letting Cascade chain deployments and leases.

Cascade deploys SDL manifests autonomously

The `create_deployment` tool starts your decentralized cloud infrastructure directly inside Windsurf. Cascade uses this MCP connection to read your local SDL manifest file, initiates the deployment, and handles the initial setup without requiring you to manually run CLI commands. Once initiated, Cascade uses `list_bids` to track incoming provider offers and executes `create_lease` to lock in the cheapest GPU resources. You get a live, running container on the decentralized network while you focus on writing code.

Keep Akash resources funded via Windsurf MCP Server

The `add_deposit` tool keeps your decentralized workloads running by funding your deployment escrow accounts directly. Cascade monitors your running instances and triggers deposits when your balance runs low, preventing unexpected service interruptions. By combining this with `enable_auto_top_up` and `update_deployment_settings`, Windsurf manages your infrastructure budget automatically. You set the limits, and Cascade handles the balance maintenance behind the scenes.

Live provider evaluation and deployment updates

The `list_providers` tool lets Cascade scan the entire decentralized network to find the exact GPU specs your project needs. Cascade compares provider details using `get_provider` to ensure your workload lands on reliable hardware. When you modify your application code in the editor, Cascade updates the live environment using `update_deployment`. This keeps your remote staging environment perfectly in sync with your local workspace.

Setup guide

Set up Akash Network (Decentralized GPU & Cloud API) 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 Akash Network (Decentralized GPU & Cloud API) 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 Akash Network (Decentralized GPU & Cloud API) payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Akash Network (Decentralized GPU & Cloud API) tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
