Connect ContentGroove MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect ContentGroove 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.
Cascade chains video imports to clips
Give Windsurf a raw YouTube URL and let Cascade handle the entire ContentGroove ingestion pipeline. Cascade initiates the import via `create_media_from_url` and monitors the progress using `get_media_status` without waiting for your next prompt. Once the processing finishes, Windsurf automatically pulls the results using `get_media_clips`. You get a fully polished list of ContentGroove highlight clips ready for your editors inside your Windsurf workspace, all from a single initial command.
Direct file uploads managed by Windsurf
When you have local footage, Cascade grabs a secure ContentGroove upload URL using `create_direct_upload`. The agent prepares the video payload and handles the binary transfer directly within your Windsurf session, avoiding manual browser uploads entirely. After the upload completes, Windsurf tracks the project lifecycle with `get_media_details`. It keeps your Windsurf workspace in sync with your remote ContentGroove video library without any manual reloading.
Automated clip auditing via MCP Server
Let Cascade audit your entire ContentGroove media library by running `list_media` to find unprocessed raw files. The agent then drills down into specific ContentGroove highlights using `get_clip_details` to evaluate their timestamps inside your Windsurf editor. It can even compile a markdown summary of every video asset by calling `list_all_clips` to show your team what's ready in Windsurf. You just watch Cascade piece the ContentGroove video data together inside your Windsurf IDE.
