Connect ContactOut MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect ContactOut 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 your outreach research
Cascade uses `find_email_by_linkedin` to grab contact info while you write code. You don't need to leave your editor to find the right person. It chains `search_people` with `enrich_contact` to build your lists. Cascade finishes the whole sequence without waiting for your input.
Automate company data gathering
The `search_companies` tool lets you scope out targets within Windsurf. Cascade maps these results to your current project requirements. Once you pick a company, `enrich_company` pulls the details you need. Your agent populates your local data files automatically.
Monitor your ContactOut usage
Call `get_api_usage` to see how many credits you have left. This keeps your research on track without surprises. Windsurf keeps this data visible in the sidebar. You always know your remaining budget for contact lookups.
