Auto-generate membership reports in Windsurf

The `list_memberships` tool pulls active and inactive subscriber tiers directly into your editor. Cascade reads this raw data, analyzes the churn rate over the last quarter, and writes a markdown summary without you having to ask for each step. You get a clear picture of your recurring revenue. Cascade chains this with other local files to update your internal tracking spreadsheets automatically.

Sync digital products with this MCP Server

The `list_extras` tool fetches your listed digital products and their purchase history. Cascade uses this list to check which items are selling best and drafts promotional update emails based on actual customer trends. Instead of copying data from a web dashboard, your editor handles the query. It keeps your product inventory aligned with your development files in a single run.

Live donor tracking during code sessions

The `list_supporters` tool grabs your latest one-time tips and active members, integrating directly with your MCP client. Cascade monitors this feed, letting you build a local contributor wall that updates every time you run a build. You can also call `get_account_stats` to see your overall balance. Cascade handles the API calls in the background so you stay focused on writing code.
