Perplexity

Full Commerce Layer control in Windsurf

Cascade pulls product details and order history by calling `list_skus` and `list_orders` directly. It parses the JSON responses to build components on the fly. Stop switching windows to check price points or stock levels. You just tell Cascade what you need, and it chains these tools to update your storefront.

Automate order drafting with Windsurf

Use `create_order` to generate new drafts based on customer input. Cascade handles the heavy lifting by validating payload structures before hitting the API. Testing checkout flows becomes a one-prompt task. You define the logic, and the agent executes the sequence of tool calls to finalize your draft.

Deep dive into store metadata

Query your live environment using `list_markets` and `list_promotions` to see what’s active. Cascade maps this data to your current codebase context. You avoid manual lookups by letting this MCP Server bridge the gap between your store settings and your IDE workspace.
