How to Use the Azure Functions Invoke MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf pass parameters to my Azure Function with this MCP?

Yes. The invokefunction tool accepts a JSON object or a text string as input. Windsurf's Cascade agent will format the payload based on the task and your function's requirements, then send it with the invocation.

Let Windsurf's Cascade agent run your serverless logic. Connect an Azure Function and watch it execute tasks on its own.

Execute Serverless Code

The `invoke_function` tool gives your agent a direct line to a specific Azure Function. You point it at your endpoint, and Windsurf can now run that function whenever it needs to. It’s a simple, powerful way to let your agent tap into your private compute resources. Imagine you ask Windsurf to analyze new data. Instead of you manually running a script, its Cascade agent can use `invoke_function` to trigger your Azure Function, process the data on your own infrastructure, and get the result back. It all happens as one fluid step in its plan.

Build Autonomous Workflows in Windsurf

This isn't just about calling a function. It's about letting Windsurf's Cascade agent decide *when* to call it. Your agent can now include your custom serverless logic as part of a larger, multi-step plan. No user intervention needed. For example, Cascade could read a new ticket, use this MCP to run a function that fetches customer details from your private database, and then draft a response. You define the goal; Cascade figures out how to use your tools to get there.

Secure, Managed Connection

Connecting your agent to private code can be a headache. This MCP server handles it for you. Vinkius manages the authentication and provides a single, secure endpoint for Windsurf to connect to. You don't have to expose your Azure Function keys to the world. All communication is sandboxed and ephemeral. Your agent gets the access it needs, and your infrastructure stays locked down. It's the simplest way to add custom compute to your AI workflow.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Azure Functions Invoke MCP in Windsurf

Add the server through Windsurf's built-in MCP Marketplace or by editing your config file. Once connected, the `invoke_function` tool is automatically available to the Cascade agent. You can then give it tasks that require your Azure Function.

Yes. The `invoke_function` tool accepts a JSON object or a text string as input. Windsurf's Cascade agent will format the payload based on the task and your function's requirements, then send it with the invocation.

This server handles authentication and discovery for you. Windsurf's agent automatically knows how to use the `invoke_function` tool without you writing any glue code. It simplifies your prompts and makes the agent's plans more reliable.

Absolutely. Vinkius provides a single endpoint token for authentication. The entire connection is sandboxed, ephemeral, and runs in a zero-trust environment, so your Azure credentials are never exposed to the client.

The server only proxies the data your function needs, which could be a JSON payload or plain text. It doesn't store any of this data. The entire operation is ephemeral, meaning the request and response data are immediately discarded after the function returns.
