Perplexity

Stop LLM math errors in Windsurf

LLMs are notoriously bad at sequential counting over huge datasets. When Cascade attempts to number thousands of legal files, it skips numbers or loses track of the prefix. This MCP Server stops that behavior by offloading the actual generation to a deterministic engine via `generate_bates_numbers`. Cascade calls the tool, gets a perfect array of string-formatted Bates numbers, and then maps them directly to your workspace files. You get the speed of an autonomous agent without the risk of a misnumbered court exhibit.

Autonomously label entire legal directories

Point Cascade at a folder of PDFs and tell it to rename them sequentially. Because this MCP tool returns clean arrays, Cascade can chain the file renaming step immediately after getting the numbers. There is no manual copying or pasting required. Cascade reads your directory structure, runs `generate_bates_numbers` to get the exact count needed, and writes the final filenames back to disk in one clean run.

Audit your legal numbering runs instantly

If a court filing gets rejected for a missing index, it's on you. This tool returns structured lists that Cascade can instantly compare against your raw e-discovery manifest to guarantee total coverage. Cascade writes the output log directly to your workspace. You can inspect the exact range generated by `generate_bates_numbers` and let Cascade verify the sequence matches your project specifications.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Bates Numbering Generator Engine MCP in Windsurf

It bypasses the LLM's natural language generation limits by running a deterministic algorithm to build the arrays. Cascade simply calls `generate_bates_numbers` for the exact count it needs, ensuring no skipped sequences even when processing tens of thousands of records. This keeps your legal filings perfectly ordered.

Yes, you can pass custom prefixes, suffixes, and padding lengths to the tool. Cascade will read your prompt instructions and configure the parameters for `generate_bates_numbers` automatically. This means you can match any court-mandated formatting style in seconds.

Windsurf will pause the active execution chain and report the connection drop in the Cascade panel. Because Vinkius hosts the MCP Server on an isolated, highly available sandbox, connection drops are extremely rare. Your progress is preserved, and you can resume the run without losing your place in the sequence.

Open your Windsurf settings and add the server to your `mcp_config.json` file under the `mcpServers` block. Alternatively, use the built-in MCP Marketplace for a one-click installation. Once added, Cascade automatically detects the numbering tool and can use it immediately.

No, the raw contents of your legal PDFs are never sent to the server. Only the numeric parameters, prefix strings, and padding values are passed to `generate_bates_numbers` to build the index array. Vinkius processes these generation requests in a zero-trust, ephemeral sandbox that immediately wipes execution memory.
