Manage your orders in Windsurf

Cascade pulls live order data directly into your editor. Use `get_order` to inspect billing addresses and tax totals while you write code. Trigger `list_orders` when you need to audit recent transactions or check payment statuses. The agent handles the lookup so you stay in the flow.

Sync CS-Cart data to your project

Windsurf accesses your product catalog using `list_products` and `get_product`. You get immediate visibility into stock levels, vendor pricing, and feature sets. Fetch category trees with `list_categories` to map your store structure. Your agent builds features based on real-time inventory instead of stale documentation.

Audit vendors and tax rules

Monitor multi-vendor marketplaces by calling `list_vendors` through this MCP Server. You can verify contact info and company status without switching tabs. Check `list_taxes` to pull current rates and geographic rules. This keeps your store logic in sync with your actual tax configuration.
