Full CMS control inside Windsurf

Cascade reads your Cockpit schema to pull data without you leaving the editor. It uses `list_content_items` to grab specific entries and `get_content_item` to display details directly in your chat window. Updating your site is just as fast. Cascade runs `create_or_update_content_item` to push changes to your backend automatically.

Manage assets through this MCP Server

Stop switching tabs to find images or metadata. You can ask Windsurf to pull file info using `get_asset` or generate specific thumbnails with `get_asset_image`. This MCP Server lets you handle media uploads and organization entirely through your coding flow. It keeps your workspace clean while you work on your frontend.

Query your site structure with Cascade

Need to find where a page lives? Use `get_page_by_route` or `list_routes` to map out your content architecture. Cascade interprets the response to help you navigate your CMS hierarchy. You can also pull full navigation lists with `get_menu` and `list_menus`. This gives your AI agent the full picture of your site layout without manual lookups.
