How do I find my Workspace and Model IDs?

You can use the `list_workspaces` and `list_models` tools provided by this server. They will return a list of all accessible environments along with their unique IDs.

Are actions in Anaplan synchronous or asynchronous?

Most data actions (imports, exports, processes) are asynchronous. When you run them, they return a Task ID. You should then use `get_task_status` to monitor the progress until it reaches a 'COMPLETE' state.

Can I trigger an Anaplan process that contains multiple actions?

Yes, use the `run_process` tool. Processes in Anaplan are designed to run a sequence of imports, exports, and other actions in a specific order. You can monitor the entire process using the returned Task ID.

About Anaplan MCP Server

Connect your Anaplan account to your AI agent to automate financial planning, supply chain, and sales operations. This MCP server allows you to discover workspaces and models, and trigger complex data integration tasks using natural language.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Anaplan tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

What you can do

Workspace & Model Discovery — List all available workspaces and models to navigate your planning environment.
Execute Data Actions — Trigger and monitor imports, exports, and processes (groups of actions) to move data in and out of Anaplan.
Task Monitoring — Real-time tracking of asynchronous task statuses to ensure your data integrations complete successfully.
File Management — List files within your models to keep track of historical imports and exports.

The Anaplan MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Anaplan + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Anaplan MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
