Perplexity

Autonomous asset mapping inside Windsurf

Cascade doesn't just look up data; it builds the connections for you. When you ask it to document a new schema, this MCP Server helps Cascade call `list_asset_types` and `list_domains` to understand your Collibra structure. Once the plan is set, Windsurf runs `create_asset` to populate your catalog without making you copy-paste IDs. You get a fully mapped data dictionary in your workspace while you focus on the actual architecture.

Zero-click community and domain discovery

Finding where data lives in a massive enterprise catalog is usually a nightmare. This MCP connection lets your Cascade agent query `list_communities` and `list_domains` in the background while you write queries. The agent pulls the exact structural context via `get_community_details`. It knows who owns the data and where it belongs, mapping your local code to the right Collibra governance boundaries instantly.

Automated status and asset audits

Verify compliance on the fly. Cascade uses the MCP Server to run `search_assets` and `get_asset` to verify that your active database tables match the registered assets in Collibra. If things are out of sync, the agent grabs the valid states using `list_statuses`. It flags mismatches and prepares the exact updates needed to keep your compliance team happy.

You don't have to manage complex API keys inside your IDE. Vinkius handles the credentials securely, giving Windsurf direct access to your assets through a single secure endpoint token.

Cascade chains actions autonomously, but you retain full control. You can configure Windsurf to ask for confirmation before it runs `create_asset` or modifies any governance records.

Open your `mcp_config.json` file in Windsurf and paste the connection block. Cascade immediately discovers the tools and starts using them in your active coding sessions.

Yes, because the MCP integration translates your plain English requests into precise API calls. It runs `search_assets` behind the scenes to find the exact metadata you asked for.
