How to Use the CloudConvert MCP in Windsurf
Convert media files inside Windsurf without leaving your editor.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect CloudConvert MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect CloudConvert 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 file conversions in Windsurf
Cascade uses `create_simple_job` to handle format changes directly from your project files. You just define the target format and the agent handles the heavy lifting. It removes the need to open external browser tabs. You keep your focus on the code while the MCP Server manages the processing.
Track conversion status automatically
Cascade monitors your progress using `get_task_status` to ensure files are ready when you need them. It pulls the latest job data so you don't have to guess if a process finished. Once the work is done, the agent reports back in the chat. You see exactly what happened with your files without digging through dashboards.
Manage your conversion credits
Keep an eye on your usage with `get_user` right inside the Windsurf terminal or chat. You'll know exactly how many credits remain before you start a large batch job. This prevents unexpected failures during high-volume tasks. You get a clear view of your account limits without ever switching apps.
