How to Use the Extracta MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure the Extracta MCP Server in Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file or use the Settings UI to add the server under the mcpServers key. Once saved, Cascade auto-discovers all ten extraction and classification tools.

Q: What happens if an extraction job takes too long to complete?

Cascade does not freeze. It uses getresults to check the status periodically, allowing you to continue writing code while the background document processing completes.

Turn PDFs into structured JSON data by letting Windsurf chain Extracta tools autonomously.

Run Multi-Step Document Pipelines in Windsurf

Let Cascade handle the entire document ingestion workflow. Once you feed a PDF URL to Windsurf, it triggers `upload_file_url` to stage the document. Instead of waiting for you to prompt the next step, Cascade automatically polls `get_results` until the extraction is done. If the document needs sorting first, Windsurf chains `create_classification` and `get_classification_results` to route files to different schemas. You set the end goal, and this MCP Server handles the pipeline without manual hand-holding.

Dynamic Schema Updates with Windsurf Cascade

Modifying your data extraction schemas shouldn't require rebuilding your codebase. When Cascade notices your document structure has changed, it uses `update_extraction` to modify mapping rules on the fly. You don't have to write custom parsing scripts; the agent updates your configuration directly. You can verify the changes instantly. Cascade calls `view_extraction` to pull the active rules, confirming your new fields are registered. It makes schema maintenance a conversational task inside your IDE.

Fetch Bulk Extraction History in Windsurf

Stop running manual database queries to find old extraction jobs. Windsurf reads your context and uses `get_batch_results` to pull bulk historical data directly into your workspace. This MCP integration handles the pagination and formats the output into clean JSON. If you need to clean up old configurations, the agent uses `delete_extraction` to prune unused endpoints. This keeps your Extracta setup clean and prevents clutter in your active IDE workspace.

Setup guide

Set up Extracta 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 Extracta 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 Extracta payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Extracta tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Extracta MCP in Windsurf

Cascade uses its agentic loop to chain tools. It uploads a document using `upload_file_url`, monitors the status with `get_results`, and processes the JSON payload all in one run. It makes the MCP pipeline incredibly fast.

Yes. You can ask Cascade to modify your extraction fields, and it will call `update_extraction` to update the mapping rules. It then runs `view_extraction` to verify the changes.

Open your `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file or use the Settings UI to add the server under the `mcpServers` key. Once saved, Cascade auto-discovers all ten extraction and classification tools.

Cascade does not freeze. It uses `get_results` to check the status periodically, allowing you to continue writing code while the background document processing completes.

Vinkius runs this MCP Server in an isolated V8 sandbox. Your file URLs and extracted JSON metadata are processed ephemerally, meaning no persistent storage or data leaks occur outside your active session.
