How to Use the Anaplan MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf Cascade run an Anaplan process?

Cascade uses runprocess to trigger your defined sequences. It then automatically polls gettaskstatus until the process finishes, reporting the final status directly in your chat.

Q: Can I list my Anaplan workspaces inside Windsurf?

Yes, Cascade calls listworkspaces to show your active environments. You can then select a workspace and let Cascade query its models.

Q: How does Cascade handle failed Anaplan exports?

If runexport fails, Cascade automatically checks listfiles to find the error log. It reads the log and suggests fixes for your data mapping.

Run Anaplan data imports and export tasks autonomously inside your Windsurf IDE using this dedicated MCP Server.

Run Anaplan Imports with Windsurf Cascade

The `run_import` tool lets your Cascade agent trigger data imports to your Anaplan models without leaving the Windsurf editor. Cascade reads your local CSV files, matches the Anaplan schema, and fires the import process immediately. You don't have to monitor the Anaplan progress bar because Cascade chains the import with `get_task_status` to watch the run finish. Cascade then updates your local Windsurf workspace configuration automatically based on the import results.

Map Anaplan Models Directly in Windsurf

The `list_models` tool fetches all models in your active Anaplan workspace to let Cascade map out your planning structure. Cascade uses this model list to write custom integration code inside your Windsurf project. By combining this with `list_workspaces`, Cascade builds a complete map of your enterprise planning environment inside the editor. You get instant local context of your Anaplan models without opening the web interface, allowing Cascade to generate precise data pipelines.

Automate Anaplan Processes via Windsurf MCP Server

The `run_process` tool executes multi-step planning sequences in Anaplan directly from your Windsurf terminal. Cascade plans the execution order, triggers the process, and handles any errors that pop up during the run. If an Anaplan process fails, Cascade calls `list_files` to check the error logs and rewrites your local Windsurf data payload. This handles the entire debugging loop within Windsurf without you writing a single line of glue code for the Anaplan API.

Setup guide

Set up Anaplan 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 Anaplan 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 Anaplan payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Anaplan tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
