Autonomous scheduling in Windsurf

Cascade doesn't just read your calendar; it actively manages your team's throughput. When you ask it to fix a bottleneck, it calls `list_allocations` and `list_projects` to map out exactly where the team is overbooked. Once the gap is identified, Cascade uses `create_allocation` to shift tasks without you opening a browser. It treats your resource data as code, executing changes directly in your workflow.

Real-time team insights for Windsurf

Stop digging through spreadsheets to see who is available. By using `list_people` and `get_person`, Cascade pulls current capacity metrics directly into your chat window. It cross-references this with `list_time_offs` so you never assign work to someone on leave. You get the full picture of your team's state without leaving your code editor.

Project tracking via Windsurf MCP Server

Managing project scope requires constant updates to task lists. This MCP Server exposes `list_project_task_names` to let Cascade pull specific work labels for any active project. It then uses `get_logged_time` to compare your estimates against reality. You see exactly where hours are leaking before the project goes off the rails.
