How to Use the Cloudmersive MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use Cloudmersive to handle document conversions?

Cascade calls convertdoctopdf when it detects a document format mismatch in your workspace. It handles the API call through the MCP connection, writes the PDF directly to your project directory, and continues its task.

Q: Does the security scan tool block bad URLs in my code?

The scanurl tool analyzes URLs and returns a threat status. It does not block network traffic directly, but Cascade will read the output and refuse to write those links into your codebase if a threat is detected.

Let Cascade run multi-step security checks and document conversions directly in Windsurf.

Convert DOC to PDF and extract text in Windsurf

The `convert_doc_to_pdf` tool handles your document conversions right inside your workspace. When Cascade detects a new DOCX file, it automatically triggers this tool to output a clean PDF without you having to ask it to run a script. For web-focused tasks, `convert_html_to_text` strips raw HTML down to clean strings. Cascade chains this with other editors to parse local files or web pages, giving you clean text to feed into your local codebase.

Validate user data with this Windsurf MCP Server

The `validate_email` tool checks email addresses for syntax errors and domain validity during your development cycles. Cascade uses it to scrub test data or mock inputs directly in your editor, flagging bad records before they hit your database. You can also run `validate_phone` and `validate_domain` to clean up contact forms or configuration files. Cascade chains these checks automatically when it spots contact fields in your source code, saving you manual testing time.

Scan links and analyze media assets

The `scan_url` tool inspects external links for potential security threats before your app loads them. Cascade runs this check when parsing markdown files or configuration files to keep your workspace secure. When handling media, `get_image_info` and `resize_image` let Cascade inspect and modify graphics in your project directory. It grabs dimensions, checks formats, and scales images to match your CSS specs without leaving the editor.
