How to Use the Flock MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure Flock inside Windsurf?

Open your MCP settings file at /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json. Add the server under the mcpServers key, save the file, and hit Refresh in the MCP panel.

Q: Does Flock integration in Windsurf support private groups?

Yes. The server exposes groupslistprivate to retrieve routing UUIDs, provided your token has the correct IAM permissions. Cascade will automatically navigate these boundaries when you request group actions.

Q: Can Flock and Windsurf handle large directory lookups?

It handles large rosters by mapping @ aliases to absolute string UUIDs via rosterlistdirectory. This ensures your messages reach the correct individuals without latency spikes.

Windsurf connects directly to your team data, letting Cascade execute complex Flock workflows across your channels and groups.

Chain multi-step Flock commands in Windsurf

Cascade doesn't just read data; it plans and executes full communication sequences. You define the goal, and the agent uses `roster_list_directory` to map users before sending updates via `chat_send_message`. This MCP Server removes the need for manual context switching. By chaining tools, Cascade handles the entire loop from identifying recipients to posting formatted alerts without your intervention.

Manage Flock channel metadata automatically

Stop hunting for channel IDs or group memberships. Windsurf uses `channels_list_public` and `groups_list_private` to build a live map of your organization's messaging structure. Once the agent has the topology, it uses `channels_get_info` to pull specific banner logic or `groups_get_info` to audit access. It keeps your workspace clean by pulling only the necessary routing UUIDs for your current task.

Render rich FlockML directly in your IDE

Stop settling for plain text when your team relies on structured data. The `chat_send_message` tool supports native FlockML, allowing the agent to inject high-fidelity attachments into your communication flow. When you need to share logs or incident reports, the server converts your agent's output into valid payloads. It bypasses standard formatting limits, ensuring your team sees exactly what the agent intended.
