Automate data requests in Windsurf

Cascade handles the heavy lifting when you need to fire off a `create_request` call. You just tell it the target, and the agent constructs the payload and executes the task without needing your input for every field. This MCP Server lets Cascade pull live state using `get_request`. It watches the progress of your campaign so you don't have to tab over to a browser to see if a recipient responded.

Track campaign status with Cascade

Getting a view of your active projects is simple when you call `list_campaigns`. Windsurf processes the response to give you a clean summary of what is currently moving. Need to dig into specifics? The agent uses `get_campaign` to pull the exact data points you need. It turns raw API output into a format that makes sense for your current file context.

Communicate through your IDE

Stop context switching to send updates. You can trigger `send_message` right from the editor, and the agent ensures it attaches to the correct request ID. Keeping a clean log is easy because `list_messages` keeps the thread visible. You'll see the history of your interactions alongside your code changes.
