Perplexity

Automate stock updates in Windsurf

The `update_ca_inventory` tool lets Cascade modify stock levels across all your connected marketplaces in one go. If a warehouse alert triggers, Cascade reads the new numbers, locates the matching SKU via `list_ca_products`, and pushes the update immediately. You don't have to copy-paste SKU codes or open the Rithum dashboard. Cascade handles the entire sequence, keeping your stock counts accurate across eBay, Amazon, and Walmart without manual intervention.

Let Windsurf track order fulfillment queues

The `list_ca_orders` tool pulls pending shipments so Cascade can analyze your fulfillment bottlenecks. When an order flags as delayed, Cascade chains `get_ca_order_details` and `list_ca_fulfillments` to pinpoint exactly which distribution center holds the package. This setup eliminates manual status checks. You get a clear, structured summary of shipping delays and carrier tracking numbers directly in your IDE chat.

Query distribution centers via this MCP Server

The `list_distribution_centers` tool exposes your physical inventory nodes directly to your IDE. Cascade uses this data alongside `list_ca_labels` to categorize products and map out where your highest-performing stock sits. Instead of digging through complex database schemas or API docs, you ask Cascade to map your logistics. The agent pulls the live configuration and builds the inventory reports you need.
