Real-time market data in Windsurf

Feed live coin prices and market charts into your coding environment without leaving the editor. Cascade can trigger `get_simple_price` or `get_coin_market_chart` to pull current valuation data as you build your trading dashboards. This MCP server removes the need to manually copy-paste JSON blobs. Just ask Cascade to query the latest figures and it handles the data ingestion for your current project files.

On-chain pool analysis for Windsurf

Investigate liquidity pools and DEX data instantly during your development sessions. Use `get_onchain_pool` and `get_onchain_pool_trades` to inspect specific contract activity without opening a browser. Your agent parses the pool data to verify trade volume or token liquidity. It puts the raw on-chain findings into your workspace so you can write logic based on actual market activity.

NFT collection tracking in Windsurf

Monitor floor prices and collection statistics by calling `get_nft` or `get_nft_by_contract` directly through the Cascade interface. This keeps your NFT-related app features grounded in live data. Cascade maps these responses to your UI components automatically. You get accurate collection metadata without juggling external API keys or rate limits in your own code.
