Windsurf automates PIM data retrieval

Cascade reads your product architecture by calling `list_products` and `get_product_details` directly. It identifies missing attributes or incorrect values without you manually checking the browser. Stop digging through the dashboard to find IDs. Windsurf pulls category trees using `list_categories` and maps them to your local UI components automatically.

Direct attribute updates in Windsurf

Trigger `update_product` to modify specific fields from your editor. You can push changes to the PIM while writing code, keeping your source of truth synced. This MCP server allows Cascade to verify `list_attributes` before pushing edits. It ensures your data structure matches what the PIM expects.

Channel-aware content management

Filter data by `list_channels` or `list_locales` to grab localized content. Windsurf handles the heavy lifting when you need to swap languages or regional settings. It checks `list_families` to organize your product data logic. You get the exact schema you need to build out your frontend layouts.
