Chain field audits with this MCP Server

Cascade reads your project context and knows exactly when to grab inspection data. You just tell it to analyze the latest safety audits, and it handles the rest. It figures out the steps, firing off `list_available_forms` to find the right template before diving into the actual records. This means you stop writing glue code to fetch data. Your agent pulls the exact form IDs, runs `list_form_submissions` to get the answers, and formats everything directly into your current markdown report or code file.

Map user submissions instantly

Field teams generate massive amounts of data across different sites. Tracking who submitted what usually requires bouncing between browser tabs. Windsurf fixes this by letting Cascade chain user lookups with location tracking autonomously. Tell your agent to map recent activity. It'll execute `list_organization_users` to get your team list, then cross-reference that with `list_tracked_locations`. The result shows up right in your editor without you clicking a single button.

Download PDFs directly in Windsurf

Sometimes you just need the hard copy of an inspection for compliance reasons. Instead of logging into a web portal, you can have your agent fetch the exact document link. It grabs the submission ID and pulls the exact asset you requested. Cascade calls `get_submission_pdf_url` behind the scenes. You ask for the latest site audit PDF, and your agent drops the direct download link right into your terminal or notes file.

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

Add the DataScope MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.

Common questions about DataScope MCP in Windsurf

Open your MCP panel and click the Settings gear to access the Cascade configuration UI. You can also edit `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` directly and add the DataScope endpoint. Hit refresh, and Cascade will auto-discover the tools.

Yes. Cascade can pass specific user IDs when calling the list tools. Just tell it which team member you want to investigate, and it handles the filtering automatically.

You skip writing fetch requests entirely. Because this acts as a managed MCP Server, Cascade understands the schema out of the box. It plans the API calls and formats the response without any boilerplate code.

No. Cascade operates autonomously once you set a goal. It will chain form lookups and data extraction steps together, only stopping to show you the final result.

Vinkius isolates your connection in a V8 sandbox. When your agent reads field inspection submissions or tracked locations, the token lives in an ephemeral environment. Zero-trust architecture ensures your audit records never leak across sessions.
