How to Use the AntEater MCP in Windsurf
Let Cascade agents track team activity and contact history directly inside Windsurf.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect AntEater MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect AntEater to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Windsurf agents parse team activity
Cascade pulls your team's pulse into the editor using `list_recent_activity`. It parses the data so you don't have to hunt through logs. Searching historical logs becomes instant when you trigger `search_activity`. You get the specific threads you need without leaving your current file.
Manage your CRM contacts via MCP Server
Stop switching tabs to find client details. Use `list_contacts` to pull your entire database into your IDE context. When you need a specific person, call `search_contacts` to filter by company name. Cascade handles the heavy lifting so you keep coding.
Deep dive into team member profiles
Call `get_user` to pull up specific team member details during your planning phase. It gives you the full picture of who owns what. Need to verify connectivity? `check_anteater_status` confirms the link is live. It's a quick way to ensure your agent sees the latest data.
