How to Use the AskNicely MCP in Windsurf
Cascade chains AskNicely tools to track NPS scores and trigger surveys directly inside your Windsurf IDE.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect AskNicely MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect AskNicely 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.
Fetch NPS metrics with Windsurf
Cascade pulls your current NPS scores using `get_statistics` without leaving the editor. You get a clear view of customer sentiment trends while you write code. Running `get_account_check` confirms your credentials remain valid. It keeps the connection active while you focus on building features.
Manage AskNicely contacts automatically
Use `list_contacts` to pull your customer list into the Windsurf context window. You can cross-reference user feedback with specific code modules. Triggering `trigger_survey` lets you send requests to specific users immediately. Cascade handles the API call, so you don't have to switch tabs to track engagement.
Review survey feedback in Windsurf
The `list_responses` tool pipes raw survey data into your workspace. You see exactly what customers say about your latest releases. This MCP server gives your agent direct access to raw sentiment data. You diagnose customer friction points based on real feedback logs rather than guesswork.
