Connect Daily.co MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Daily.co 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 daily meeting rooms in Windsurf
Cascade uses `create_room` to spin up video sessions without you leaving the editor. You define the constraints, and the agent builds the infrastructure instantly. Once the room exists, `update_room` lets you tweak privacy settings or configuration on the fly. It saves you from digging through admin dashboards while you are coding.
Track session data within Windsurf
Get real-time updates on call quality using `get_meeting_participants` and `get_logs`. Cascade pulls the raw metrics so you can diagnose connection issues or latency spikes. If you need to archive session details, `get_session_data` grabs the metadata for your logs. It keeps your terminal clean while the agent handles the heavy lifting.
Control recordings via Windsurf
Start or stop calls with `start_recording` and `stop_recording` based on specific triggers in your codebase. You don't need to manually hit record when a session begins. Use `get_recording_access_link` to grab the files once they process. The agent manages the entire lifecycle of your media assets.
