How to Use the Automate.io MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I add this MCP Server to my Windsurf configuration?

Open your mcpconfig.json file and add the Vinkius server URL under the mcpServers key. Cascade auto-discovers the tools immediately, or you can use the Windsurf Marketplace for one-click installation.

Q: How do I find which bots are failing?

Ask Cascade to check your active workflows. It will run listbots to get the list, then call listbotruns for the failing ones to show you the exact step that errored out.

Control your Automate.io workflows directly inside Windsurf as Cascade autonomously runs, audits, and fixes your integration bots.

Audit Automate.io bot runs using Windsurf Cascade

The `list_bot_runs` tool retrieves the exact execution history and status of your active Automate.io workflows. This MCP Server lets Cascade read this data to find which steps failed, maps out the errors, and immediately suggests code fixes to your local webhook endpoints without you asking. You tell Windsurf to check why a specific sync failed, and it uses `get_bot` to inspect the configuration. It then cross-references the run logs to pinpoint the broken mapping, saving you from clicking through the browser UI.

Map active app integrations within your workspace

Querying with the `list_apps` tool provides a complete list of supported third-party services currently available in your Automate.io account. Cascade queries this list to match your local codebase APIs with your active integrations, ensuring you never write redundant integration code. By running `list_connections` alongside this, Windsurf verifies which accounts are authenticated. Analyzing this connection status lets Cascade configure your local environment variables, keeping your development environment in sync with live production integrations.

Track resource limits directly in this MCP Server

Running the `get_usage` tool pulls live billing statistics and execution counts directly from your Automate.io account. Cascade monitors these metrics during heavy local test runs to prevent you from hitting your monthly plan caps. When Cascade detects high volume, it queries `list_bots` to find low-priority workflows you can pause. This lets you manage your workspace spend directly from the Windsurf editor window without switching tabs.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Automate.io MCP in Windsurf

Cascade reads your prompt, detects you want to check a workflow, and calls `list_bots` to find active configurations. It chains this with `list_bot_runs` to inspect failures and fix code errors without requiring step-by-step prompts.

No, this MCP Server only reads configurations and execution runs. You authenticate once in the Vinkius portal, and Windsurf uses the secure endpoint token to run queries like `list_connections`.

Open your `mcp_config.json` file and add the Vinkius server URL under the `mcpServers` key. Cascade auto-discovers the tools immediately, or you can use the Windsurf Marketplace for one-click installation.

Ask Cascade to check your active workflows. It will run `list_bots` to get the list, then call `list_bot_runs` for the failing ones to show you the exact step that errored out.

Yes, because Vinkius runs the server in an isolated V8 sandbox. Your bot configurations and connection lists are never stored on Vinkius servers, and they only pass through to Windsurf via encrypted transport.
