How to Use the COR MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect the COR MCP Server to Windsurf Cascade?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Cascade automatically discovers all thirteen tools upon restart, letting you query agency metrics immediately.

Q: Can Windsurf create projects in COR automatically?

Yes, Cascade uses createcorproject to build new projects based on your current workspace context. You just tell the agent to start a new client job, and it handles the API calls.

Q: How does Windsurf display COR time entries?

Windsurf queries listcortimeentries to pull logged hours directly into your chat interface. Cascade then parses this raw data to show you exactly which tasks consumed the weekly budget.

Q: How do I check if my agency API connection is active?

You run checkcorstatus through the MCP tool interface to check if the API gateway is online. If the connection drops, Windsurf displays the error code so you can troubleshoot instantly.

Let Cascade run your agency's project tracking and profit margin analysis in Windsurf without leaving your workspace.

Run COR project creation directly inside Windsurf

`create_cor_project` is the tool Windsurf uses to spin up new agency jobs whenever you ask Cascade to start a project with this MCP Server. The agent reads your client brief, maps out the scope, and writes the project directly into your COR account. Cascade then chains this with `list_cor_clients` to link the new project to the right account. You don't have to jump back and forth between your editor and the COR web app to keep your client list updated.

Track team tasks with this custom MCP Server

`list_cor_tasks` lets Cascade pull your active agency work items directly into the Windsurf sidebar. The agent scans your open tasks, finds bottlenecks, and updates status flags without manual intervention. By combining this with `list_cor_task_types`, Cascade categorizes your design and dev pipelines instantly. It keeps your team aligned on deliverables while you focus on writing code.

Audit agency time entries and resource allocation

`list_cor_time_entries` exposes real-time logged hours to Windsurf so Cascade can analyze where your budget is going. The agent matches these hours against project scopes to calculate your actual margins. It calls `list_cor_team_members` to see who is over-allocated before you assign the next ticket. You get a clear picture of team bandwidth right inside your IDE.
