Autonomous document creation in Windsurf

Cascade builds your internal docs by calling `create_document` without you leaving the code window. It takes your Markdown drafts and pushes them to your workspace instantly. Stop switching tabs to update project specs. Cascade handles the heavy lifting, ensuring your documentation stays synced with your current logic.

Search and manage files with this MCP Server

Query your entire knowledge base using `search_files` to find relevant specs during a refactor. Windsurf indexes these results to give your agent better context for complex code changes. Use `list_files` to navigate your folder structure when you need to audit assets. You can move or rename documents via `move_file` as your project architecture evolves.

Monitor space and access in Windsurf

Check your storage limits with `get_space_usage` before spinning up new documentation heavy-lifts. It keeps your team aware of quota constraints inside the IDE. Retrieve profile details using `get_account` to verify your environment setup. This MCP Server ensures your agent has the right permissions to manage your collaborative workspace.
