How to Use the BlackTwist MCP in Windsurf
BlackTwist brings social media data straight into Windsurf, letting Cascade draft and track posts without leaving the IDE.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect BlackTwist MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect BlackTwist to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Manage your social queue in Windsurf
Cascade pulls your account IDs using `list_accounts` so you can fire off updates immediately. It handles the backend work while you stay in your code. Use `create_post` to push content directly to your connected channels. You'll see the status change inside your editor window as the action completes.
Track metrics with your MCP Server
Ask Cascade to pull your latest engagement numbers using `get_analytics_metrics`. It reads the raw data and summarizes the performance of your recent campaign. You can also check your `get_posting_consistency` to see if your cadence matches your goals. The MCP Server feeds this info to Cascade so it can suggest adjustments.
Automate your social workflow
Stop jumping between browser tabs to check thread follow-ups. Cascade uses `get_thread_follow_up` to pull the settings you configured for your audience. If you need to clear the board, `delete_post` wipes scheduled items instantly. It's a clean way to keep your content pipeline running from Windsurf.
