How to Use the Capacities MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Cascade search my Capacities notes during a Windsurf session?

Yes, Cascade runs lookup to scan your note spaces for keywords or specific titles. It retrieves the exact context using getobject so it can write code that matches your documented specifications.

Q: Can the agent save images and diagrams from my project?

Cascade uses savemedia to attach screenshots, visual assets, or architecture diagrams directly to your existing objects. This keeps your visual design assets grouped with your technical specs.

Feed your Capacities knowledge graph directly from Windsurf as Cascade writes and refactors your codebase.

Auto-documenting codebase architecture with Windsurf

This MCP Server exposes the `create_object` tool to let Cascade instantly document your project structure inside your personal spaces. As Cascade refactors your code, it writes architectural summaries, component relations, and API schemas straight into your knowledge base so you don't have to switch windows. The agent reads your setup using `get_space_info` to match your existing object definitions before publishing. You end up with a live, structured map of your software design that updates itself while you focus on writing code.

Chaining research and code notes in Windsurf

Cascade uses `save_to_daily_note` to dump debugging logs, terminal errors, and quick architectural thoughts directly into your daily journal. It chains this with `save_weblink` when you ask it to research a new library or API document online. You get a chronological record of your coding session without manually copy-pasting terminal outputs. The agent organizes these entries with `add_tag` so your daily logs instantly link to your broader engineering projects.

Instant lookup of project requirements

The `lookup` tool lets Cascade search through your Capacities databases to find product specs, user stories, or design assets. Instead of searching your notes manually, you ask Cascade what the database schema should look like, and it pulls the exact node. Once found, the agent uses `get_object` to read the properties and immediately writes the matching code. This tight integration means your technical documentation directly guides Cascade's autonomous code generation.

Setup guide

Set up Capacities 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

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 Capacities payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Capacities tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
