Run live event campaigns with Windsurf and Cascade

The `list_events` tool lets Cascade scan your active sports schedules to find matches that need interactive content. Cascade doesn't wait for you to prompt the next step; it immediately calls `list_questions` to see what trivia or predictions are lined up for those games using the active MCP Server. If a game lacks engagement prompts, Cascade can flag the gap. It checks the event status with `get_event_details` and prepares the exact questions needed to keep your sports audience tapping.

Automate fan profile updates using this MCP Server

The `get_fan_profile` tool pulls deep user data directly into your Cascade session so you can analyze user activity on the fly. Cascade chains this with `list_picks` to map out exactly how an individual fan is predicting outcomes across different games. This means you can spot high-value users instantly. By checking their history against `get_pick_details`, Windsurf builds a clear picture of user habits, letting you customize their experience without manual CSV exports.

Auto-distribute rewards based on leaderboard shifts

The `get_leaderboard` tool exposes the current rankings of your most active players directly to Windsurf's autonomous engine. Cascade reads these standings, matches them with `list_rewards`, and maps out which physical or digital prizes should go to the top tier. Instead of running manual audits, Cascade queries `get_reward_details` to verify inventory before proposing prize allocations. It handles the whole sequence in one run, keeping your sports community competitive and active.
