Run Financial Audits Autonomously

Cascade can plan and execute a full financial review. Give it a goal like "Check all contractor invoices against their contracts for Q3." It will use `list_contracts` to find the right people, then `list_invoices` and `list_payments` to pull the data. You don't have to prompt each step. It pieces together the entire financial picture. Cascade also uses `list_expenses` to find any reimbursable costs and `get_contract` to check specific terms, flagging anything that looks off. You get a final report, not a list of questions.

Manage Your Deel Team with Windsurf

Use Windsurf to ask about your team's status. Cascade answers complex questions by chaining tools. For instance, you can ask, "Show me all active contracts in Canada and their time off balances." Your agent will use `list_people` to find team members by location, then `list_contracts` to see who's active, and finally `list_time_off` to get their balances. It's one prompt for you, but a multi-step plan for your agent.

Get Project Updates from This MCP Server

Stop digging through Deel to see where a project stands. Just tell Windsurf, "What's the status of the 'Phoenix' project milestones?" Cascade takes over from there. It will find the relevant contract, then use `list_milestones` and `list_tasks` to check what's due, what's done, and what's paid. You get a clear summary right in your IDE. This MCP Server connects your code directly to your project's financial reality.

Common questions about Deel MCP in Windsurf

You give Windsurf's Cascade agent a high-level goal. It then uses tools like `list_contracts` and `list_payments` to gather the necessary data from Deel and find discrepancies on its own.

Use the built-in MCP Marketplace in Windsurf. Find the Deel server and click to install. Your tools will be available in the MCP panel immediately.

No. This MCP server provides read-only access to your Deel account. Your agent can list and get details, but it cannot create or modify any data.

Just ask in plain English, like "Get all invoices for Jane Doe from Deel." Cascade will figure out the steps, using `get_person` to find the individual and `list_invoices` to retrieve their records.

This server accesses contract terms, payment history, and personal metadata from Deel. All operations run in an ephemeral Vinkius sandbox using your private endpoint token, and no data is ever stored.
