Full machine lifecycle control in Windsurf

Cascade handles your infrastructure tasks by calling `create_machine` or `update_machine` based on your specific requirements. It parses your intent to spin up new VMs or adjust CPU and memory allocations on the fly. When you need to cycle services, Cascade uses `stop_machine` and `start_machine` to manage availability. It tracks the state of your fleet through `list_machines` to ensure the target environment matches your desired configuration.

Persistent storage management for Windsurf

You can provision storage by triggering `create_volume` to ensure your stateful applications persist across reboots. The server handles the attachment logic, keeping your data linked to the correct compute nodes. Auditing your storage setup happens via `list_volumes`. This lets Cascade confirm that every machine has the necessary mounts before you initiate a deployment sequence.

Inspect app health and certificates in Windsurf

Retrieve high-level status updates using `list_apps` and `get_app` to verify your global edge deployment. Cascade uses these tools to identify which regions are currently active for your project. Security audits are simple when you run `list_certificates` to check your HTTPS status. This ensures your domains remain valid without manual intervention in your browser.

Setup guide

Set up Fly.io Alternative 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 Fly.io Alternative 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.
4

Verify in Cascade

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

Common questions about Fly.io Alternative MCP in Windsurf

Yes, it runs as a standard MCP server. You control access by managing the environment variables for your API token, ensuring your Windsurf agent only performs the actions you authorize.

Open your MCP settings in Windsurf and add the server configuration. Once you save, Cascade will automatically discover the tools and start executing commands based on your natural language prompts.

Absolutely. You can use `get_machine` to pull logs or status details directly into your chat. This allows you to resolve issues faster because you see the infrastructure state side-by-side with your code.

The server interacts with the platform API directly. It never stores your credentials, relying on the token you provide to the MCP host environment.

It only touches your application metadata, machine states, and volume configurations. It does not access your local source code or personal files unless you explicitly pipe that information into the chat.
