How to Use the CrewAI Platform MCP in Windsurf
Trigger multi-agent workflows directly from Windsurf by chaining CrewAI Platform tools through Cascade's autonomous planning.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect CrewAI Platform MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect CrewAI Platform 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.
Execute complex runs from Windsurf
Cascade doesn't just read data; it actively manages your agents. Use `kickoff_crew` to trigger deployments based on current codebase goals without leaving your editor. It handles the JSON payloads so you can focus on the logic. You'll see the results appear in your Cascade window as the agent completes its steps.
Inspect agent status inside Windsurf
Get a clear view of your active crew performance. Call `get_crew` to pull structural properties that dictate how your logic behaves in production. This keeps your context grounded in real-time data. You'll stop guessing about account states and start debugging them directly.
Manage tasks within the Windsurf MCP Server
Keep your project synced by tracking active task queues. Use `list_tasks` to see exactly what is moving through your gateway at any given moment. This MCP Server provides the hooks Cascade needs to verify history. You'll catch auth issues before they break your build.
