Perplexity

Auto-generate custom proposals via Windsurf Cascade

Cascade takes your raw project notes and spins up client records using `create_client` through this MCP connection without you having to click around a web UI. It reads your workspace context, matches it to your active files, and preps the background work instantly. Once the client exists, Cascade triggers `create_proposal` to generate a polished sales document. You don't have to guide it step-by-step; the agent chains these tools together to build and send the draft in one go.

Map code changes to active templates

When you finish a feature, Windsurf can scan your work and find matching proposal structures using `list_templates`. This keeps your technical scopes accurate because your editor knows exactly what you just built. The MCP Server lets Cascade pull the right template ID and map your code changes directly into the proposal text. You get technical accuracy in your client pitches without manual copy-pasting.

Monitor client review status inside your IDE

Stop leaving your editor to check if a prospect opened your estimate; Cascade uses `list_proposals` via the active MCP setup to fetch the status of outstanding bids and flags them in your workspace panel. If a client requests a change, you can call `get_proposal_details` to read their feedback. Cascade then suggests code or scope edits based on their exact comments, closing the loop between sales and development.
