Cascade handles project triage

Windsurf allows you to offload the grunt work of managing tasks. You just tell the agent what to do, and it uses `list_workspaces` and `list_projects` to find where the work lives. Once the location is set, it triggers `create_task` to populate your backlog without you needing to switch tabs or open a browser.

Real-time task synchronization

Keep your project state updated through direct tool execution. The agent monitors progress by running `get_task` and `list_tasks` to identify blockers before you even notice them. When a status change is needed, it calls `update_task` to shift priorities. This keeps your workflow moving while you focus on writing the actual code.

Automated team communication

Stop digging through email threads to find project updates. The agent uses `list_task_comments` to summarize recent discussions and `add_task_comment` to push your notes back into the system. It checks `list_workspace_members` to ensure every task is assigned to the right person. You get the context you need without ever leaving the IDE.

Setup guide

Set up Flow MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Flow MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Flow payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Flow tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
