Connect Flatwork ATS MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Flatwork ATS to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Full candidate lifecycle management
Cascade uses `create_applicant` and `get_applicant` to pull profiles directly into your workspace. You stop switching tabs and start reviewing resumes where you write your code. Everything stays synced with your hiring database. When you need to check a candidate's history, the agent handles the heavy lifting via `list_applicants` without a single manual query.
Automated job and status tracking
Windsurf monitors your open roles using `list_jobs` and `get_job` to keep your context window current. You get a clear picture of active postings without leaving the editor. Updating your pipeline is just as fast. The agent triggers `update_application_status` the moment you finish a review, keeping every record precise and up to date.
Pipeline oversight with Flatwork ATS
Use `list_applications` to see who is where in your funnel. Cascade connects the dots between your recruitment data and your current development tasks. Keep tabs on your automation triggers by running `list_webhooks`. It’s the easiest way to ensure your Flatwork ATS integration is firing correctly while you focus on the build.
