Chain CaptionHub actions in Windsurf

Cascade takes your high-level goal and runs a sequence of tools to get the job done. You tell it to handle a new video, and it triggers `create_project` followed immediately by `transcribe_video`. You avoid the back-and-forth prompts. Windsurf plans the steps and executes the entire workflow until the project is ready for review.

Manage CaptionHub metadata within Windsurf

Keep your project details accurate by using `update_project` whenever your source files change. Cascade reads your local documentation and pushes the updates to your account. It keeps your tracking organized. You won't have to switch tabs to verify if a project title or status matches what you have in your codebase.

Automate caption approval in Windsurf

Once your team finishes the edits, use `approve_captions` directly from the chat panel. You review the output and tell Cascade to finalize the set. This MCP Server lets you close the loop fast. You stay in your flow while the background tasks update your production assets.
