How to Use the Beekeeper MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can I create new posts in Beekeeper streams using Windsurf?

Yes. The createpost tool is included. You just tell your agent what to post and in which stream, and it handles the rest. It's great for making announcements without leaving your editor.

Let Windsurf's Cascade agent manage your Beekeeper users, posts, and messages automatically, right from your IDE.

Manage your team without switching apps

This MCP Server gives your agent direct access to your Beekeeper directory. You can ask it to find a specific person using `search_users` or pull a full roster with `list_users`. It's a faster way to check who's in what group or get contact details without breaking your focus. Cascade, Windsurf's autonomous agent, takes this further. Set a goal like, "Find all the new hires from the last month and list their departments." Cascade will chain the `list_users` and `get_user` tools to get the job done in one shot. You see the final result, not the intermediate steps.

Keep your Beekeeper streams in order

Your agent can now act as a content manager. Give it a task to create a new announcement using `create_post` in a specific stream. It just works. No more copy-pasting between your notes and the Beekeeper app. This is especially useful for cleanup. Tell Cascade to find all posts in the 'General' stream older than six months. It will use `list_streams` to find the stream ID, then run `list_posts` with a date filter, and give you a list of what needs to be archived. It does the busywork for you.

Connect Windsurf for autonomous operations

Connecting the Beekeeper MCP Server to Windsurf is simple. Once you add the server endpoint, Cascade automatically discovers all the available tools. You don't need to manually configure `send_message` or `list_groups` — they just show up, ready for your agent to use. From there, you can pull high-level information with a single prompt. Ask Windsurf to get your tenant details with `get_tenant_info` or to list all available messaging channels with `list_streams`. The agent handles the API calls and gives you back the clean data you need.
