Provision users via Windsurf MCP Server

Cascade handles identity provisioning without waiting for you to click through a web dashboard. Tell your agent to onboard a new hire. It grabs the request context and fires off `create_user` immediately. Once the account exists, the agent automatically runs `get_user` to verify the profile. You watch the steps execute in the IDE panel while you keep typing code. This MCP Server turns manual IAM tasks into background processes.

Audit security policies

Security reviews usually mean digging through exported CSV files. Now your AI client reads the raw data directly. Ask Cascade to check recent login failures across your apps. The agent pulls records via `get_audit_logs` and cross-references them with `get_security_settings`. It spots misconfigured pool policies on its own. You get a plain English summary of vulnerabilities instead of raw JSON dumps.

Map corporate hierarchies

Mapping complex company structures takes hours of API testing. Windsurf maps it for you. Give Cascade a target tenant and watch it work. It chains `list_organizations` with `list_groups` to build a complete access tree. If you need to know who holds admin rights, the agent calls `list_roles` to find out. The entire permission structure appears right next to your source code.
