Real-time gas price tracking for Windsurf

Cascade pulls current network costs using `get_gas_prices` to ensure your transaction estimates aren't based on stale data. It watches the mempool so you don't overpay. You'll see the exact cost to push your code to mainnet before you hit deploy. Cascade uses these numbers to adjust gas limits automatically.

Automated deployment logic

This MCP Server feeds live market conditions into your agent's decision loop. You set the strategy, and it executes based on the current chain state. Stop guessing what to set for your gas fees. Your agent checks the mempool via this tool and sets the optimal values for every transaction.
