Analyze DSP Data with Windsurf

Cascade pulls campaign data autonomously. Tell it to audit a brand's spend, and it chains `list_campaigns` followed by `get_campaign_performance` to map out exactly where your budget goes using this MCP Server. You don't have to prompt it for every single step. The agent figures out the tactic hierarchy on its own. It grabs the line items via `list_tactics` and checks their individual stats using `get_tactic_performance`. You just sit back and watch the analysis populate right in your workspace.

Map Brand and Client Portfolios

Agency developers deal with massive advertiser lists. This MCP Server lets your IDE fetch that structure instantly. Running `list_clients` pulls the top-level accounts, while `list_brands` breaks down the specific sub-entities. You get the exact IDs required to query deeper metrics. Instead of digging through the Basis web interface, Cascade holds that context in memory and uses it to target the exact accounts you care about.

Audit Ad Creatives Fast

Tracking down underperforming creatives usually takes hours of clicking. Now you can ask your agent to find the worst offenders. It triggers `list_ads` to get the inventory and `get_ad` to inspect the metadata for specific banners. Pairing this with performance data means you can write scripts that automatically flag bad ads. Cascade writes the Python script, tests the API calls against the live metrics, and outputs a formatted CSV before you even finish your coffee.

Common questions about Basis Technologies MCP in Windsurf

Open your MCP panel and click the Marketplace tab for a one-click install. You can also manually edit `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` to add the Vinkius endpoint URL. Hit refresh and Cascade will auto-discover the tools.

Yes, it pulls real-time metrics. Cascade uses the `get_campaign_performance` tool to grab live spend, impressions, and conversion data straight from the DSP.

No. The agent handles the data visualization in your IDE. You ask for a breakdown, and Cascade formats the raw JSON from `get_tactic_performance` into a clean markdown table.

Cascade reads the error and adjusts its plan. If a specific campaign ID throws a fault, the agent automatically runs `list_campaigns` again to verify the correct identifier before retrying.

Every request routes through an ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox. Your Basis campaign budgets, tactic line items, and client lists never touch a shared database. Once the session ends, the memory wipes completely.
