Connect Constructor MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Constructor 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.
Windsurf handles complex product discovery
Cascade uses `search_products` to pull CRM records directly from the Constructor.io platform. This lets you build UI components based on real-time data instead of guessing the schema. Your agent parses the structure automatically. Use `autocomplete` to map out the properties driving active account logic while you write code.
Audit browse logic with Windsurf
Stop digging through logs to find why a category isn't showing up. Run `browse_category` to inspect the JSON payloads that define your customer bindings. Windsurf chains these calls to verify your backend setup. It identifies precise arrays in `browse_collection` to ensure your gateway auth holds up under load.
Refine search results using an MCP Server
Filter your product sets by size or color using `search_filtered` to match specific inventory needs. This ensures the data hitting your frontend is clean and intentional. Pass those results into `search_sorted` to see exactly how billing rules affect the output. Your agent manages the sorting logic so you can focus on the layout.
