Perplexity

Multi-token pricing feeds in Windsurf.

Cascade uses `get_price` to fetch current spot rates for any token pair you name. This MCP server feeds live market data straight into your active IDE editor without manual API keys or browser tabs. When you want to pull a larger spread, Cascade calls `get_price_multi` or `get_price_multi_full` to grab 24-hour volume changes and high-low spreads. It then inserts the structured JSON directly into your working UI code.

Historical OHLCV data directly in Windsurf.

Your workspace gets instant access to historical candle data through `get_historical_daily` and `get_historical_hourly`. Cascade pulls these data points to build backtesting models or chart components directly in your workspace. For granular analysis, the agent triggers `get_historical_minute` to grab recent minute-by-minute trading activity. It writes the data into a CSV or formats it into a local database file without you writing a single fetch script.

Market discovery and live crypto news.

Windsurf uses `get_top_mktcap` to identify the most traded digital assets right now. Cascade reads this list, pulls active trading pairs with `get_top_pairs`, and maps the current market structure directly inside your project files. To add sentiment analysis, your agent calls `get_latest_news` to pull recent headlines. It parses the text to determine market trends and updates your dashboard UI with relevant market context.
