Autopilot Client Onboarding in Windsurf

Cascade can handle the entire lead intake process without you clicking around. When a new service inquiry comes in, your agent calls `list_service_requests` to grab the details, matches it against existing accounts via `list_clients`, and spins up a new profile using `create_client` if they are new. You don't have to trigger each step manually. This MCP Server lets Windsurf chain these tools together to build a clean customer record, pulling property info with `list_properties` to make sure the field crew knows exactly where to go.

Instant Multi-Step Estimating

Generating quotes usually takes a dozen clicks, but Cascade handles it in one go. The agent pulls active job histories using `list_jobs` and instantly drafts a new bid with `create_estimate` based on past pricing. It doesn't stop at drafting. The agent reads your account settings through `get_account_info` to apply correct tax rates and terms, then verifies everything against `list_estimates` so you never send duplicate bids.

Automated Job Dispatch and Field Tracking

Keep your field crews moving by letting your AI client coordinate work orders. Cascade monitors incoming requests and automatically coordinates them with active projects by running `list_work_orders` and mapping them to active crews. By hooking this MCP Server up to Windsurf, you get a live dispatcher that reads your webhooks via `list_webhooks` and updates job statuses in real-time without manual data entry.
