Automate biometric analysis in Windsurf

Cascade uses `detect_face` and `compare_faces` to identify individuals across image sets without you manually filtering inputs. It pulls raw image data and processes recognition logic directly within your current context. Once the identity is confirmed, the agent triggers `search_face` to cross-reference entries against your existing data. You get the match results back in the chat window, ready for your next coding task.

Track body movement and human posture

Windsurf can now call `detect_body` and `skeleton_detect` to map human movement from video frames you provide. It identifies joints and limbs, turning visual data into coordinate points you can use for further analysis. If you need to interpret intent, Cascade executes `gesture_detect` to parse specific hand signals. This moves beyond basic recognition, giving your agent the ability to understand physical actions within the environment.

Manage your FaceSet registry

Your agent maintains the `create_faceset` and `add_face_to_faceset` workflow to keep your biometric archives organized. It handles the indexing so you don't have to keep track of individual face tokens. When a record becomes obsolete, Windsurf calls `remove_face_from_faceset` to clean up your database. Use `get_faceset_detail` if you need to audit what is currently stored before running a batch comparison.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Face++ / Megvii MCP in Windsurf

Open the Cascade settings and navigate to the MCP Servers panel. Click the add button and point it to the server URL to enable the tools.

Yes. Since Cascade chains tools, you can ask it to detect, compare, and store faces in one go. It handles the sequence without you needing to prompt for every intermediate step.

It accepts image URLs. If you have local files, ensure they are hosted or accessible so the server can reach them for processing.

Cascade reads the error output from the tools directly. If a face isn't detected or a request times out, it reports the specific failure so you can adjust your input.

No. This server only acts as a pass-through to the API. It does not cache your raw images or biometric templates on our infrastructure.
