How to Use the ContentStack (Management) MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure ContentStack (Management) inside Windsurf?

Open your global MCP config file at /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json and add the server configuration block under the mcpServers key. Once saved, click the refresh button in your Windsurf MCP panel, and Cascade will immediately detect the tools.

Q: Can Cascade run bulk updates on ContentStack (Management) via Windsurf?

Yes, Cascade chains actions to fetch entries with listentries and update them with updateentry in a single run. You provide the goal, and Cascade executes the loop until all targeted entries match your criteria.

Q: How do I publish entries to specific environments in Windsurf?

You use Cascade to call listenvironments to find your target environment name, then execute publishentry with that environment name. Cascade handles the API payload formatting, so you only have to specify staging or production in your prompt.

Ship content updates directly from Cascade without jumping between Windsurf and the ContentStack UI.

Run multi-step content migrations inside Windsurf

The `list_content_types` tool lets Cascade inspect your schema in ContentStack so it can map fields to your local frontend code. Instead of copying JSON payloads by hand, Cascade reads the structure directly, matches it to your Windsurf workspace, and starts editing files. Cascade then uses `create_entry` to populate test data or migrate legacy posts without asking you for help at every step. You tell Cascade to sync a folder of markdown files, and it loops through them, builds the payloads, and creates the entries in one shot.

Edit and deploy ContentStack entries via Cascade

The `get_entry_details` tool fetches the exact JSON payload of any live content block directly into your active Windsurf session. You don't have to leave your editor to check which fields are populated or what localization keys are active. Once Cascade makes the changes, it invokes `update_entry` and `publish_entry` to push those edits to your production environment. The entire lifecycle happens in the background while you focus on writing code.

Audit assets and environments using this MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes `list_assets` and `list_environments` to let Cascade audit your media library and deployment targets. Cascade matches local image paths to remote asset IDs, ensuring your code points to valid URLs before you deploy. It queries `get_stack_info` to verify you are working on the correct stack, preventing accidental overwrites on your production branch. Cascade runs these safety checks silently in the background of your workspace.

Common questions about ContentStack (Management) MCP in Windsurf

Open your global MCP config file at `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` and add the server configuration block under the `mcpServers` key. Once saved, click the refresh button in your Windsurf MCP panel, and Cascade will immediately detect the tools.

Yes, Cascade chains actions to fetch entries with `list_entries` and update them with `update_entry` in a single run. You provide the goal, and Cascade executes the loop until all targeted entries match your criteria.

No, this server currently focuses on content management, offering `list_assets` to reference existing media but not upload new files. You must upload assets through the web dashboard, then let Cascade reference them by ID in your entries.

You use Cascade to call `list_environments` to find your target environment name, then execute `publish_entry` with that environment name. Cascade handles the API payload formatting, so you only have to specify staging or production in your prompt.

Your ContentStack management tokens and API keys are stored securely in the Vinkius vault, never exposing raw credentials to Windsurf. The server only handles your schemas, entries, and asset metadata inside a secure V8 sandbox, destroying the environment immediately after Cascade finishes its execution.
