Audit contractor hours with Windsurf

Cascade calls `list_timecards` to chain your Bilflo database searches without making you click around. If you ask it to find unapproved hours, it runs deep lookups on the outliers to spot billing leaks. You get a clean breakdown of current contractor hours right inside your Windsurf editor. This MCP Server lets your agent do the tedious cross-referencing while you focus on shipping code.

Sync client placements inside Windsurf

Cascade uses `list_placements` to fetch active assignments so you don't have to leave your IDE to verify staffing status. The agent cross-references these records with client details to build your internal reports. The autonomous agent handles the multi-step lookup in one go. You get accurate staffing data injected directly into your active workspace.

Map direct hires to local overtime rules

Cascade resolves complex payroll logic by pulling live rules and candidate records with `list_direct_hires`. It matches those contracts against local rules to flag compliance issues. This setup removes the manual math from your staffing admin tasks. Your Windsurf agent handles the entire sequence before presenting the final calculations using this MCP.
