How to Use the Fivetran MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect Fivetran to Windsurf?

Add the server configuration to your mcpconfig.json file. Once you refresh the MCP panel, Windsurf detects the tools and makes them available to Cascade.

Q: Can Windsurf debug Fivetran sync errors?

Yes, Cascade uses getconnector to fetch error codes from failed syncs. It parses the output to tell you exactly which connector hit a snag.

Automate connector monitoring in Windsurf

Cascade reads your data pipelines by calling `list_groups` to find your workspaces and `list_connectors` to pull active sync jobs. It identifies stale connectors or failures before you even open the Fivetran dashboard. Once the agent spots an issue, it uses `get_connector` to dump the status logs directly into your chat. You get a clear picture of what’s failing and why, allowing you to fix broken syncs without switching windows.

Audit your data stack with MCP Server tools

Your agent runs `list_users` and `list_teams` to verify who has access to your data sources. It builds a map of your organization's permissions so you can spot unauthorized users or missing team assignments immediately. This MCP Server provides the raw metadata your agent needs to enforce security policies. Cascade checks these lists against your internal compliance requirements and flags discrepancies in seconds.

Manage destinations through Cascade

Point your agent at a specific group and call `get_destination` to see exactly where your data is landing. It cross-references your current target settings to ensure your pipelines are routed correctly. If you need to reconfigure a destination, the agent uses the tool output to verify the current state before applying changes. This prevents configuration drift and keeps your data flowing to the right place.
