How to Use the Dada Now / 达达 MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can I manage multiple Dada Now / 达达 shops with Windsurf?

Yes. The addshop, updateshopinfo, and getshopdetail tools work for any number of shops. You can tell Cascade to perform an action across all of them, like 'update the contact number for all my Beijing shops'.

Q: What cities does Dada Now support?

The MCP Server has a listsupportedcities tool for that. Just ask your agent, 'Which cities can I deliver to with Dada?' and it will give you the complete, up-to-date list.

Set Up and Run Your Shops

This MCP Server gives your agent direct control over your Dada Now shops. Use `add_shop` to register a new storefront or `update_shop_info` to change details like its name or address. Your agent can also check on a specific store with `get_shop_detail`. Windsurf's Cascade agent can chain these actions. Tell it, 'Set up a new pop-up shop in Shanghai.' Cascade will find the city, run `add_shop`, and confirm it's live without you prompting each step. It figures out the workflow on its own.

Automate Deliveries with this MCP Server

Turn delivery logistics into a single command. The `create_order` tool lets your agent book a courier instantly. You can also calculate costs ahead of time with `query_delivery_fee` so there are no surprises. Imagine a customer order comes in. You just tell Windsurf, 'Book a Dada courier for order #123.' It gets the delivery fee, creates the order, and then uses `get_order_detail` to monitor its status until it's delivered. All while you work on something else.

Keep an Eye on Every Delivery

Get real-time status updates on any delivery. The `get_order_detail` tool gives your agent the current location and ETA of a courier. If something goes wrong or a customer changes their mind, you can use `cancel_order` to stop the delivery. This is perfect for building internal dashboards. Ask Windsurf to 'Show me all active Dada deliveries.' It will fetch the data using the MCP connection and you can see everything in one place. No more switching tabs to the Dada Now portal.
