How to Use the ARGUS Cloud MCP in Windsurf

Yes, Cascade chains them. It will run listassets to find your properties and then immediately call getasset for each ID to compile a full valuation sheet.

Auto-audit real estate portfolios with Cascade

The `list_portfolios` tool pulls your entire commercial property lineup directly into your Windsurf workspace. Cascade reads this portfolio list, identifies high-value assets, and automatically triggers `get_portfolio` to extract deep valuation metrics without you writing a single line of boilerplate code. By connecting this MCP server, your agent builds a complete financial snapshot of your holdings. It maps out yield trends and highlights which properties need immediate refinancing reviews.

Real-time alerts trigger autonomous asset deep-dives

The `list_notifications` tool feeds active ARGUS Cloud warnings directly to Cascade. When a critical valuation change or tenant alert drops, Windsurf catches it and immediately runs `get_asset` on the affected property to pinpoint the exact financial lease exposure. You don't have to manually check for updates or query individual buildings. The agent intercepts the alert, traces the asset ID, and hands you a pre-analyzed summary of the portfolio impact.

Build custom asset reports using this MCP Server

The `list_assets` tool pulls every commercial property from your ARGUS account into your active Windsurf session. Cascade uses this raw asset list to draft markdown summaries, calculate aggregate square footage, and cross-reference values via `get_account_check` to ensure your connection remains active. This setup turns Cascade into an autonomous analyst that writes its own reports. You get clean, updated property files saved directly to your workspace without jumping back and forth to the ARGUS web portal.
