Automated Meraki Network Audits in Windsurf

Windsurf Cascade chains `list_meraki_organizations` and `list_organization_networks` to map your Cisco Meraki setups without manual prompts. Give Windsurf a target org, and its Cascade agent sweeps your Meraki dashboard. Cascade drills down by calling `list_network_devices` to locate every Cisco Meraki switch in your workspace. This stops you from doing tedious manual network audits inside the Windsurf editor.

Real-Time Meraki Client Tracking in Windsurf

When a user reports a slow connection, Windsurf uses this MCP server to invoke `list_network_clients` and pinpoint their Meraki access point. Cascade reads the active client list to locate the machine on your Cisco Meraki subnet. Windsurf queries `get_device_details` using the serial number of the parent Cisco Meraki hardware. You get the exact Cisco Meraki signal strength and port status inside your Windsurf workspace.

Run Meraki Security Audits via this MCP Server

Windsurf Cascade verifies who has admin access to your Cisco Meraki dashboard. This MCP Server exposes `list_organization_admins` so Windsurf can pull the administrator list and flag unapproved emails. The Windsurf agent cross-references active admins with `list_organization_inventory` to ensure your Cisco Meraki hardware registry is clean. It's a fast way to catch rogue Cisco Meraki devices directly inside your Windsurf environment.
