Chain Analytics Tasks in Windsurf
This MCP Server lets Cascade take your high-level goal and map out the exact analytics steps. You tell it to build a new feature tracking pipeline, and it automatically runs `create_category` to set up the taxonomy. It then fires `list_event_types` to ensure no duplicates exist before proceeding. The automation goes even deeper. Once the taxonomy is ready, Cascade uses `create_release` to mark the feature launch date on your charts. You get a fully configured tracking setup without writing a single API request manually.
Cohort Management on Autopilot
Managing user groups no longer requires clicking through a slow web interface. You just ask your agent to pull inactive users, and it executes `get_segmentation` to find the exact drop-off points. After identifying those users, it immediately fires `upload_cohort` to group them for a retargeting campaign. The entire workflow happens right in your editor while you focus on building the actual application.
Direct Event Ingestion via MCP
Sending test data during development just became a one-step process. Instead of writing throwaway scripts, you instruct your agent to fire test events using `send_events`. Need to backfill historical data? Cascade handles that by executing `send_batch_events` with your local JSON files. It verifies the payload structure and pushes the records directly into your analytics pipeline.
