Automate video creation in Windsurf

Cascade handles the heavy lifting when you need to push content to your backend. You point the agent at a file, and it executes `create_video_object` to initialize the upload sequence. Stop switching tabs to check your dashboard status. Your agent tracks the process and confirms the object creation in your Windsurf terminal.

Query metrics with Windsurf

Fetching performance data is now a single-step operation within your IDE. You ask Cascade for the numbers, and it triggers `get_video_analytics` to pull the raw data for your review. Reviewing these stats helps you decide if a video needs a change. If it does, the agent calls `update_video_details` to modify your metadata on the fly.

Video management for Windsurf

Your MCP Server lets you sort and filter your library using `list_videos` directly in your workspace. You can search by tags or titles without hitting the web console. Cleaning up old assets is just as fast. You tell the agent which file to remove, and it runs `delete_video` to purge the content from your storage.
