Perplexity

Run multi-step onboarding workflows in Windsurf

Tell Cascade to set up a new hire using `create_employee_record` in the Culture Amp MCP Server. Cascade handles the entire sequence in your editor. You get a clean confirmation showing the exact group assignments and new employee details without bouncing between tools.

Map employee segments with this Culture Amp MCP Server

Cascade uses `list_demographic_fields` to find active reporting segments and map them. Instead of manually cross-referencing CSVs, Cascade writes a local JSON report of your current org layout. It does all of this in one autonomous run.

Audit active surveys directly from Cascade

Cascade pulls active engagement surveys via `list_engagement_surveys` to start the audit. It checks which teams have pending surveys and formats a markdown table in your workspace. You don't have to open a browser to see who needs a nudge.
