Perplexity

Build client proposals with Windsurf Cascade

Cascade takes your prompt and runs with it. Instead of manual copying, your agent queries `list_templates` to find your standard pricing template, grabs the prospect info using `get_client`, and runs `create_proposal` without waiting for your permission. You watch the steps execute in real time. This MCP integration lets Cascade fetch the right boilerplate, calculate rates, and push a live draft to your dashboard in one single workflow.

Smart client onboarding directly inside your IDE

Managing contacts shouldn't require opening a browser tab. When a new lead emails you, Cascade reads the details, checks if they exist with `list_clients`, and spins up a new record using `create_client` if they are missing. Your workspace stays organized because the tools connect directly to your sales pipeline. This MCP Server handles the database handshake, letting Cascade update Bidsketch profiles while you focus on writing code.

Track fee structures and update pending deals

Pricing changes happen fast during negotiations. Cascade runs `list_fees` to analyze current proposal metrics, then modifies the pricing tables with `update_proposal` to match your client's budget constraints. Forget manual math errors. The agent pulls active proposal details through `get_proposal` over this MCP link, modifies the line items, and updates the final balance in seconds.

Common questions about Bidsketch MCP in Windsurf

Cascade uses its autonomous planning loop to chain multiple tools together. When you ask it to pitch a client, it checks your templates, pulls client details, and writes the draft in a single execution flow.

You can read templates but not edit them directly. Cascade calls `list_templates` to read your layouts, then uses `create_proposal` to generate a new document based on those structures.

You need to add the server details to your local mcp_config.json file. Alternatively, use the Cascade settings UI to paste your Vinkius MCP token for instant activation.

Yes, you can manage specific line items dynamically. Your agent uses `list_fees` to read the structure and `update_proposal` to adjust the pricing before sending it to the client.

Your client details and draft proposals are protected by Vinkius's isolated sandbox. We never store your API tokens, and all traffic goes directly between Windsurf and the secure endpoint.
