Connect CometChat MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect CometChat to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Manage user accounts in Windsurf
Cascade can handle user lifecycle tasks by calling `create_user` or `deactivate_user` based on your project requirements. You don't need to leave the editor to clean up your database or onboard new test accounts. It also runs `get_user` and `list_users` to pull account details into your current context. This makes debugging specific user permission issues much faster.
Automate group chat administration
Your Windsurf agent executes `create_group` to spin up new chat spaces for your features. It maintains organized communication channels without manual console interaction. `get_group_details` and `list_groups` provide the metadata needed to verify channel existence. Cascade uses this info to ensure your code targets the correct chat IDs.
Send and read messages
Trigger `send_message` to push notifications or test messages directly from your terminal or editor files. It's useful for verifying integration behavior in real-time. `list_messages` allows the agent to audit chat history for your project logs. You see exactly what communication flows through your system.
