Chain social updates in Windsurf

Cascade can pull your `list_pending_updates` and rewrite them before you push live. It reads your current project context and aligns your posts with the code you just wrote. Stop switching tabs to check your queue. Use `create_update` to push content directly from your editor while the agent watches for errors.

Automate your Buffer profile management

Windsurf allows you to query `list_profiles` to see exactly which social channels are live. You get instant visibility into your account setup without leaving the IDE. Use `get_profile` to verify connection details before you stage new content. The agent handles the lookup so you stay focused on shipping code.

Shuffle queues with Windsurf agents

Trigger `shuffle_updates` to randomize your posting schedule in one go. Cascade figures out the sequence and executes the change instantly. When you need to clean up, `delete_update` clears out old drafts. Your MCP Server keeps the queue organized while you work on features.
