How to Use the Column MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does the Windsurf MCP Server configuration use Column to create accounts?

Cascade calls columncreateentity to register the KYC profile, then executes columncreatebankaccount to spin up a new DDA. It chains these steps autonomously, requiring zero prompt intervention from you.

Q: Can I test money movement using the Column MCP on Windsurf?

Yes, Cascade invokes columnsimulateach to trigger sandbox inbound transfers for your integration tests. This allows you to verify your ledger logic without moving real US dollars.

Q: How do I check transaction history in Windsurf with the Column MCP Server?

Cascade uses columnlisttransfers to retrieve past ACH operations and output them directly in your editor workspace. You get a raw list of historical payments to debug reconcile loops.

Q: How do we generate paper checks with this setup?

Cascade runs columncreatecheck to physicalize a paper payout for legacy vendors. It inputs the payee details and mailing address directly from your active code context.

Windsurf and Cascade chain Column bank operations to move funds and open accounts instantly without manual steps.

Perplexity

Automate Account Creation in Windsurf

`column_create_bank_account` establishes a demand deposit account directly inside the Column charter when Cascade triggers it. You feed the agent a customer profile, and Cascade registers the user, spins up the routing number, and verifies the setup in one pass. Cascade uses `column_create_entity` first to handle the KYC target before setting up the ledger. This process runs the compliance target and the account creation back-to-back without waiting for you to type another prompt.

Chain ACH and Wire Payouts with Column MCP Server

`column_create_wire_transfer` sends immediate wire transfers across the Federal Reserve system based on Cascade's autonomous decisions. The agent checks your cash position first to ensure you have settled funds before initiating the transfer. Using `column_create_ach_transfer` allows Cascade to trigger standard settlement pipelines and fall back to wires when you set an urgent deadline. These financial operations run directly from your workspace without requiring a separate banking portal login.

Verify Ledger History and Balances on the Fly

`column_get_balance` audits settled funds inside any active demand deposit account managed under your charter. Cascade reads this balance to verify that a target account can support an outgoing payment before writing the transaction. Cascade executes `column_list_transfers` to pull historical ACH records and reconcile discrepancies in your database. Reconciled events are matched against your internal application logs to flag missing payments instantly.
