Manage characters directly in Windsurf

You can use `create_character` and `update_character` to define your NPC personalities without switching context. Cascade handles the details, letting you see changes immediately. Running `list_characters` gives you a quick view of your roster. It keeps your development workflow tight inside your existing editor environment.

Control narrative flow with Cascade

Cascade uses `create_narrative_trigger` and `toggle_narrative` to push story events to your characters. You set the logic, and the MCP Server executes the updates. Checking your progress is easy with `list_narrative_sections`. It lets you see how your game logic maps to the character behaviors you designed.

Knowledge base management for Windsurf

Upload documentation or lore using `upload_knowledge_bank` to ground your characters in specific facts. You can verify the status of these files with `list_knowledge_bank`. Keeping your data current is simple with `update_knowledge_bank`. It ensures your characters always pull from the latest information you provide.
