Connect crowd.dev (LFX CDP) MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect crowd.dev (LFX CDP) 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.
Automate community member management in Windsurf
Cascade handles identity management and profile initialization directly. You tell it to register a new user, and it executes `create_community_member` without asking for constant confirmation. Finding specific contributors happens instantly. Use `search_members_by_keyword` to pull profiles while you stay focused on your codebase.
Analyze activity trends with this MCP Server
Your agent pulls real-time growth metrics to show you what's happening. It calls `get_community_health_summary` to visualize activity volume trends and platform distribution stats. Tracking recent engagement is simple. Cascade chains `list_recent_activities` to report on stars, PRs, and messages as they hit the API.
Resolve organization details through Windsurf
Get firmographic data on companies interacting with your projects. Cascade uses `get_organization_details` to aggregate contribution metrics and identify active members. Mapping out your community reach is straightforward. The `list_organizations` tool provides the domains and employee counts you need to prioritize outreach.
