How to Use the cloudlayer.io MCP in Windsurf
Turn web pages into PDFs or screenshots directly inside your Windsurf workflow.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect cloudlayer.io MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect cloudlayer.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.
Generate PDFs from URLs in Windsurf
Cascade can pull any live page and turn it into a formatted document. You just point it at a URL, and `convert_url_to_pdf` builds the file without you leaving the editor. It handles the heavy lifting of rendering, meaning you get a clean PDF ready for review. This keeps your focus on the code rather than messing with browser print settings.
Capture visual states for your Windsurf project
Use `capture_url_screenshot` to grab pixel-perfect images of your site during development. Cascade triggers the tool and drops the image into your workspace for immediate inspection. This is faster than manually snapping screenshots of local or staging builds. You see exactly what the user sees while you're still writing the logic.
Manage your cloudlayer.io docs in Windsurf
You can check your quotas or list past files using `get_cloudlayer_usage_stats` and `list_generation_history`. It keeps your account limits visible while you build. Never hit a wall mid-task. The server reports back what you've used so you can plan your next batch of document exports accordingly.
