Connect Determ MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Determ 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.
Windsurf handles your media monitoring
Cascade uses `list_monitoring_queries` to pull your active topics into the IDE. It maps these directly to your current project goals. Once it finds the right query, it uses `get_query_sentiment_summary` to show you exactly how the public feels about your brand. You get the raw sentiment data without leaving your code.
Drill into mention details with Windsurf
Use `list_media_mentions` to grab the latest chatter about your keywords. Cascade parses these lists to identify what needs your attention right now. It then calls `get_mention_details` to pull the full text and metadata for a specific hit. You see exactly what was said and where it originated.
Analyze reach metrics using this MCP Server
Cascade runs `list_recent_high_reach_mentions` to identify the viral content impacting your brand. It highlights these specific mentions so you can prioritize your response. It also uses `list_top_media_sources` to rank where your traffic originates. You can then adjust your strategy based on these specific high-volume channels.
