Manage member data in Windsurf

Cascade pulls contact info using `get_member` and `list_members` to build user profiles on the fly. You'll see exactly who is engaging with your project without leaving the editor. Updating profiles is just as fast. Simply call `update_member` to sync changes, or use `delete_member` to scrub records when you need to maintain clean data sets.

Track community activity via Windsurf

Your agent uses `ingest_activity` to record events like Slack messages or GitHub PRs directly into a timeline. This gives Cascade a clear view of user behavior patterns. Sorting through these signals happens through `list_segments`. Your AI client flags users based on your custom labels, showing you who needs attention right now.

Automate webhooks in Windsurf

Control your data flow by running `create_webhook` to pipe information where it belongs. Windsurf handles the configuration so you don't have to jump between browser tabs. Checking what's active is easy with `list_webhooks`. If a specific hook isn't working, use `delete_webhook` to clear it out and start fresh.
