MCP Server: Complex Scheduling

When your agent needs to plan a long session, it doesn't guess. Use `generate_breathing_schedule` to build an entire breathing routine based on total time constraints. Windsurf can then chain this schedule with other actions—maybe logging the start time or sending a reminder message—creating a full automated wellness pipeline.

Querying Timing Parameters

Need to know what counts as 'Box Breathing' before building anything? Just run `query_breathing_parameters`. This tool pulls the default timing rules for techniques like 4-7-8 or Coherence Heart Rate. This lets your agent validate assumptions immediately. It’s key for setting up accurate, repeatable flows without manual checks.

Calculating Cycle Duration

Some cycles are complex; they involve multiple phases like inhale and hold. The `calculate_single_cycle_duration` tool figures out the exact total seconds for one full repetition. This prevents timing errors in multi-step workflows, making sure your agent's output is physiologically precise.

Setup guide

Set up Breathing Timer MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Breathing Timer MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Breathing Timer payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Breathing Timer tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Breathing Timer MCP in Windsurf

Your MCP only touches cycle duration and structured timing parameters. All credentials pass through a zero-trust proxy, meaning your keys are used in transit but never stored on disk.

Absolutely. You can chain this MCP with others—for example, triggering a status update after a successful breathing session. It’s built for multi-tool automation.

It processes structured timing parameters and calculated cycle durations (seconds). This is purely informational data about the breathing pattern itself.

No. You connect your preferred AI client once to Vinkius, and from that single connection point, you can access this MCP in the catalog.

Start by defining the total time needed. Then, use our scheduling tools within the MCP to generate the full sequence. It’ll handle the pacing and transitions automatically.
