How to Use the ClickBid MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I install the ClickBid MCP Server in Windsurf?

Open /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json and add the endpoint under mcpServers. You can also use the marketplace in the Cascade UI for a one-click installation. Hit refresh in the panel to expose the tools.

Q: Can the agent create new auction items automatically?

Yes. Cascade uses the createclickbiditem tool to push new lots to the database. It handles the API formatting and executes the request without needing manual approval for every field.

Q: Does the ClickBid integration let Windsurf update bidder profiles?

Modifying guest records works through the updateclickbidbidder tool. Tell Cascade which user needs changing, and it alters the profile details instantly.

Q: Why isn't Cascade seeing my ticket purchasers?

Your agent needs to call listclickbidticketpurchasers specifically. If it defaults to the general bidder list, prompt it to use the ticket endpoint to fetch the correct buyer records.

Give Windsurf direct access to your live auction data via this MCP Server. Cascade manages bidders, items, and donations autonomously.

Autonomous bidder management in Windsurf

The `create_clickbid_bidder` and `update_clickbid_bidder` tools let Cascade handle your guest list automatically. When a new VIP registers through your web portal, your agent grabs the payload and pushes it straight into the auction system. You don't have to prompt every single step. Cascade pulls the current list via `list_clickbid_bidders`, checks for duplicates using `get_clickbid_bidder`, and applies the necessary changes while you focus on writing the actual event logic.

Build catalog interfaces with this MCP Server

Fetching auction lots happens through `list_clickbid_items` and `get_clickbid_item`. Cascade reads the live inventory data and instantly generates a React component displaying current bids, item descriptions, and starting prices. Adding a late donation to the block takes one command. You tell your IDE about the new prize, and it fires `create_clickbid_item` to push the record live before writing the frontend code to highlight it on the homepage.

Real-time event revenue tracking

Pulling financial snapshots relies on `list_clickbid_donations` and `list_clickbid_ticket_purchasers`. Your agent aggregates these endpoints to show exactly who bought tables and who made flat contributions. Instead of exporting CSVs from a dashboard, you ask Cascade to calculate the nightly total. It grabs the available entry passes via `list_clickbid_tickets`, cross-references the buyers, and prints a formatted summary right in your editor.
