How to Use the Armano MCP in Windsurf
Track time and manage staff data directly inside Windsurf using the Armano MCP Server.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Armano MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Armano 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 logs your project hours
Cascade uses `create_time_entry` to log your billable hours without you leaving the editor. Just tell the agent your task details and it handles the API call. It checks your existing `list_time_entries` records first to ensure no overlapping data. This keeps your project tracking accurate in real-time.
Manage employee data via Windsurf
Use `get_employee` to pull specific personnel files whenever you need to verify team availability. You won't have to switch tabs or dig through web portals anymore. Querying `list_departments` lets the agent map out your organization structure instantly. It makes planning project assignments much faster for your team.
Verify Armano connections in Windsurf
The `check_armano_status` tool verifies your API link to ensure commands reach the server. If the connection drops, Cascade alerts you before you waste time on failed requests. This MCP Server provides direct feedback on your session health. You can debug your integration status without writing custom scripts.
