How to Use the Checkbook.io MCP in Windsurf
Send checks and manage invoices directly inside Windsurf using Cascade to automate your payments.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Checkbook.io MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Checkbook.io to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate payments with Windsurf
Cascade handles the heavy lifting when you need to move money. Instead of logging into a bank portal, just tell your agent to `send_digital_check` or `send_physical_check` to a recipient. Windsurf reads your request, chains the necessary steps, and executes the transaction. It keeps your workflow inside the editor while handling the money side.
Track finances in your IDE
You can pull live data on your accounts without leaving your code. Use `list_linked_bank_accounts` or `list_recurring_payments` to see exactly what is happening with your funds. Cascade parses the return values instantly. You get the current status of your cash flow right in your active session.
Review check status with MCP Server
Keep tabs on every outgoing payment through this MCP Server. Cascade uses `get_check_details` to pull info on specific items, ensuring you know exactly when a check hits the recipient. It updates your context with the latest check status. You never have to switch tabs to verify if a payment went through.
