Perplexity

Cascade chains automated ERP metadata audits

The `get_d365_fo_metadata` tool pulls your current environmental schema directly into Windsurf so Cascade can map the active ERP configuration. Cascade parses this structure to prepare subsequent data queries without requiring manual endpoint definitions. You get a clear view of your active endpoints. Windsurf uses this MCP Server to build complex, multi-step queries across your financial tables automatically.

Audit inventory levels across warehouses

The `get_inventory_on_hand` tool retrieves actual stock counts from your physical warehouses to let Cascade flag low-inventory items. Windsurf cross-references these stock levels with active sales records to highlight immediate supply shortages. Cascade runs these checks autonomously when you ask about order fulfillment status. It matches physical inventory against incoming demand to keep your supply chain data accurate.

Check sales orders with this MCP Server

The `list_d365_sales_orders` tool displays your active customer orders inside Windsurf to let Cascade reconcile pending shipments. Your agent identifies order bottlenecks by combining this list with the `get_sales_order_details` tool to inspect specific line items. You avoid manual order tracking. Cascade chains these tools to locate missing shipments and update your internal team on delivery timelines.
