Run autonomous sentiment triage in Windsurf

Cascade can look up your app list using `list_apps` and immediately check customer feedback using `list_reviews` without you prompting every single step. It reads the raw sentiment and star ratings to spot sudden dips in app store ratings. Instead of manually digging through app stores, you tell Cascade to find what's broken. The agent pulls reviews, identifies the version causing issues with `list_versions`, and starts editing your code to fix the bug.

Trace custom support issues directly to your codebase

When users complain about a specific feature, Cascade uses `list_custom_topics` and `get_reviews_by_custom_topic` to isolate those complaints in Windsurf. It maps user complaints directly to the files handling those features. This Appbot MCP Server lets Cascade connect user feedback to actual lines of code. It grabs the exact error descriptions from `get_review_details` and searches your workspace for the broken logic.

Auto-generate localized bug reports based on global reviews

If you support global apps, Cascade uses `list_countries` and `list_languages` to sort incoming complaints by region. It isolates localized issues before they tank your international store ratings. Cascade uses `list_topics` to group these international reviews by common complaints. Writing localized regression tests in Windsurf ensures your next release doesn't break things for those specific users.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Appbot MCP in Windsurf

Open your `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file and add the server configuration under the `mcpServers` block. Alternatively, use the Windsurf UI under Settings -> Cascade -> MCP Servers to paste the Vinkius URL and click refresh.

Yes, Cascade chains multiple tool calls together to check and analyze your store data. It can run `list_apps`, find the correct app ID, and then call `list_reviews` to scan for bugs without requiring manual prompts for each step.

Vinkius manages your API credentials securely in a sandboxed environment, giving Windsurf a single secure endpoint. Cascade accesses your store reviews through this connection without ever exposing your raw Appbot API keys to your local workspace.

You can ask Cascade to check specific releases by having it run `list_versions` first. It then filters the review feed to isolate complaints tied to that exact build.

Vinkius runs this connection in an isolated V8 sandbox that only processes read-only app store reviews and sentiment metadata. Your proprietary source code in Windsurf remains strictly local and is never sent back to Appbot's servers.
