How to Use the Dot Object Transformer MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure the Dot Object Transformer in Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the MCP server configuration under the mcpServers key. Once saved, Cascade auto-discovers the tools and lets you transform objects instantly.

Q: Can Windsurf use Dot Object Transformer to prepare CSV data?

Yes, Cascade calls the transformdotobject tool to flatten nested JSON structures into flat dot-notation keys. This makes writing CSV files or spreadsheet exports straightforward for the agent using this MCP server.

Q: What happens if there are array indices in the JSON?

The tool converts array indices into numeric keys like users.0.name. Windsurf reads this standard format easily, making data manipulation predictable.

Flatten JSON structures for Cascade

The `transform_dot_object` tool flattens deeply nested JSON structures into single-level dot-notation keys. This allows Cascade to map complex nested data directly to flat CSV templates or database schemas without manual looping. You specify the input object and the direction parameter. Windsurf chains this output into downstream file-writing tools to generate clean spreadsheet exports instantly.

Reconstruct nested payloads on the fly

The `transform_dot_object` tool reconstructs nested JSON objects from flat dot-notation dictionaries. When Windsurf reads flat key-value configurations, this tool rebuilds the deep hierarchies required by external APIs. Cascade uses this output to format webhooks or construct API payloads. It eliminates the need to write custom parsing code in your codebase.

Automate data pipeline steps in this MCP Server

The `transform_dot_object` tool acts as the clean-up step in your Windsurf data pipelines. It takes messy, multi-layered API responses and flattens them so your agent can extract specific fields without nesting errors. Cascade handles the entire sequence from fetching raw data to transforming it. You get clean, predictable key-value pairs ready for database insertion.

Setup guide

Set up Dot Object Transformer MCP in Windsurf

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.
2

Add the Dot Object Transformer 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.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Dot Object Transformer payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Dot Object Transformer tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Dot Object Transformer MCP in Windsurf

Open your `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file and add the MCP server configuration under the `mcpServers` key. Once saved, Cascade auto-discovers the tools and lets you transform objects instantly.

Yes, Cascade calls the `transform_dot_object` tool to flatten nested JSON structures into flat dot-notation keys. This makes writing CSV files or spreadsheet exports straightforward for the agent using this MCP server.

It handles arbitrary nesting depths. When Windsurf passes a deeply nested object to `transform_dot_object`, the tool flattens it completely or reconstructs it back to its original structure based on your command.

The tool converts array indices into numeric keys like `users.0.name`. Windsurf reads this standard format easily, making data manipulation predictable.

Your JSON data never leaves your local machine. The server runs inside a secure Vinkius sandbox, ensuring that your raw payloads are processed locally and discarded immediately.
