How to Use the Cordial MCP in Windsurf
Windsurf Cascade connects directly to Cordial to pull subscriber data and trigger campaign updates without leaving your IDE.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Cordial MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Cordial 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.
Windsurf handles your Cordial subscribers
Cascade reads your subscriber database to fetch profiles or update contact records. Use `get_subscriber_profile` to pull custom attributes or `upsert_subscriber` to push changes directly from your code. Stop switching tabs to check list memberships or device tokens. The agent pulls this data into your workspace context automatically.
Manage Cordial campaigns in Windsurf
Your agent inspects active marketing campaigns and automation workflows. You trigger `list_marketing_campaigns` or `list_automation_messages` to see exactly what is running right now. Cascade plans multi-step sequences to verify campaign performance metrics. It identifies bottlenecks by cross-referencing your campaign status against current message definitions.
Access custom data via Cordial MCP Server
Fetch metadata from supplementary collections for real-time personalization. The `list_supplementary_data` tool exposes your external data tables to Cascade for deep analysis. Windsurf uses these insights to build logic around your specific audience segments. You get direct access to `list_audience_segments` to map out your contact groups.
