How to Use the ChartHop MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can I run ChartHop scenario planning directly inside Windsurf?

Yes, Cascade calls listplanningscenarios to fetch your active headcount plans. You can ask your agent to compare these scenarios against your current open roles without leaving your active file.

Q: Can Cascade modify my organizational structure?

No, this server only exposes read operations like listorganizationdepartments and getjobdetails. Your agent can audit and analyze your structure, but it cannot write changes back to your live directory.

Run autonomous headcount audits and map your org chart directly inside Windsurf using live ChartHop data.

Audit Headcount Scenarios in Windsurf

Windsurf uses `list_planning_scenarios` to pull your active compensation models and headcount plans into Cascade for instant analysis. Cascade reads this context and automatically chains queries to check if your open roles align with your budget targets. You don't have to copy-paste budgets or export CSVs. Your agent reads the raw scenario data, flags discrepancies, and shows you the exact delta in your editor.

Auto-Map Teams with Windsurf MCP Server

The `list_organization_teams` tool gives Cascade direct access to your company's reporting lines and structural groups. This MCP Server lets your agent inspect how engineering, sales, or product departments are structured without leaving the IDE. Cascade uses this structural map to write code that respects your actual team boundaries. It queries the live schema, identifies team leads, and updates your local configuration files automatically.

Inspect Live Job Details Instantly

You run `get_job_details` inside Cascade to pull specific role requirements, salary bands, and department codes into your coding workspace. Windsurf chains this tool with your local files to verify if your internal job board application matches the source of truth. Instead of manual verification, you let Cascade run the tool sequence to pull job profiles, compare the fields, and write the necessary database migrations.
