How to Use the Cronofy MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf handle timezone conflicts via Cronofy?

The agent calls queryavailability to fetch structural timezone and active overlap data directly from the API. It resolves conflicts automatically before generating scheduling links.

Let Cascade manage calendars directly inside Windsurf by chaining Cronofy API actions autonomously.

Cascade chains multi-user scheduling in Windsurf

Windsurf does not just suggest code; it executes multi-step scheduling workflows on your actual calendar. By exposing the Cronofy MCP Server to Cascade, your agent reads busy blocks across Google and Exchange using `query_availability` and `get_free_busy`. It maps out overlaps without waiting for you to copy-paste meeting times. Once it spots a gap, the agent generates active booking options via `create_scheduling_request`. You set the goal of scheduling a team sync, and Windsurf handles the entire chain of API calls in the background.

Multi-provider event sync and cleanup

Managing messy invitations across Apple, Google, and Outlook is a massive headache. Cascade reads unified feeds directly using `read_events` to pull aggregated calendar data without logging into three different platforms. It checks your profiles with `list_profiles` to make sure your local developer time matches real-world commitments. If a project deadline slips, Cascade updates your schedule on the fly. It sweeps your calendar and clears dead blocks using `delete_event` to keep your availability clean and accurate.

Account validation and profile routing

Before setting up complex client bookings, Cascade checks your connection status. It runs `get_account` and `get_user_info` to verify active sub-provider profiles and authentication gateways. This ensures your automated scheduling flows do not break due to expired tokens. It also lists active diaries with `list_calendars` to pinpoint exactly where new payloads belong. You get an autonomous agent that uses the MCP connection to verify its own access path before writing a single event.

Setup guide

Set up Cronofy MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Cronofy MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Cronofy payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Cronofy tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Cronofy MCP in Windsurf

Open Settings, navigate to Cascade, and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Alternatively, edit your local `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file and click refresh in the panel.

Cascade chains actions autonomously, but you retain control over its execution limits. It will draft the event details using `create_event` and show you the plan before executing the write operation.

The agent calls `query_availability` to fetch structural timezone and active overlap data directly from the API. It resolves conflicts automatically before generating scheduling links.

It aggregates events across Google Calendar, iCloud, and Exchange. The `read_events` tool pulls these distinct feeds into a single unified overlay for your agent to analyze.

Vinkius runs the server in an isolated V8 sandbox, meaning your raw tokens and profile data are never stored or exposed. The agent only accesses the specific calendar events and user profiles needed to execute your immediate request.
