How to Use the ExhibitDay Trade Show Planning MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use the ExhibitDay Trade Show Planning MCP Server to handle logistics?

Windsurf reads your current logistics status using quickeventlogisticsaudit via the MCP Server. Cascade then automatically chains actions to check shipping statuses and update tasks without requiring a separate prompt for each step.

Q: Can I trust Windsurf to monitor ExhibitDay Trade Show Planning budgets without manual oversight?

Yes, because Windsurf reads live cost data using geteventbudgetsummary. Cascade identifies budget overruns and highlights the specific line items that need your attention before you commit to more spending.

Q: How do I configure ExhibitDay Trade Show Planning in my Windsurf environment?

Add the server configuration to your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file under the mcpServers key. Cascade will automatically discover the ten tools upon refreshing the MCP panel.

Q: Will Windsurf automatically update booth staff assignments?

It will retrieve assignments using listeventboothstaff and can cross-reference them with travel itineraries. While it cannot write back to ExhibitDay yet, it can draft the updated team schedules in your workspace.

Let Windsurf Cascade autonomously track booth shipments, manage staff schedules, and keep your trade show budgets in check.

Let Cascade Audit Your Trade Shows

The `quick_event_logistics_audit` tool gives Cascade immediate access to your entire trade show logistics status. Windsurf uses this endpoint to pull shipping updates, task lists, and travel plans in a single step. Instead of asking you for permission at every step, Cascade reviews the audit data and automatically flags missing travel bookings or delayed booth materials. It chains this with `list_planning_tasks` to update your team's action items without manual intervention.

Prevent Budget Creep Automatically

The `get_event_budget_summary` tool pulls actual costs directly from your ExhibitDay account using this MCP integration. When Cascade notices expenses creeping up, it grabs the data to show you exactly where the overages are happening. Windsurf uses this financial data to cross-reference with your active event list. If Cascade finds a discrepancy, it drafts a budget correction plan and links it directly to your upcoming event schedule.

Windsurf MCP Server Logistics Engine

The `list_booth_shipments` tool exposes real-time tracking numbers and freight status to your IDE. Cascade reads this data to verify that your $15,000 custom booth materials are actually on their way to the convention center. If a shipment is delayed, Cascade doesn't just show you an error. It automatically pulls up `list_event_booth_staff` to see who will be on-site to receive the freight and updates their itinerary.
