Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Builder.io MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Builder.io 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.
Full content control in Windsurf
Cascade pulls your CMS data directly into the IDE. You trigger `create_content_entry` or `update_content_entry` by simply describing the change to your agent. It reads your existing architecture first. By calling `get_content_entry` or `list_content`, the agent understands exactly what needs fixing before it touches a single file.
Map your space with Windsurf
Stop digging through web dashboards to find your structure. Use `list_models` and `get_model` to dump the current schema into your active chat. Windsurf maps this data to your local project files. When you need to verify your site layout, `get_space` provides the context needed to keep your components aligned.
Track usage via Windsurf
Keep an eye on your limits without switching tabs. You can prompt the agent to run `get_api_usage` whenever you want a reality check on your current consumption. This MCP server gives Cascade the visibility it needs to report back to you. You get the numbers instantly, right in your terminal output.
