Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Front MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Front 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 inbox control for Windsurf
Cascade can now handle your support tickets by calling `list_shared_inboxes` and `list_inbox_threads` directly. It understands your current project context and pulls the right conversations into your workspace. Stop switching tabs to check your status. Use `get_conversation_details` to pull metadata into your side panel so you can see exactly who you are talking to while you write code.
Automate replies with Windsurf
Let your agent handle the routine work by using `send_inbox_reply` to draft and send messages. It chains this with `list_conversation_messages` to ensure the reply follows the actual thread history. If you need to change a ticket state, call `update_conversation_status` to archive it or reassign it. Cascade executes these steps in the background while you focus on building features.
Search conversations in Windsurf
Find specific customer issues instantly using `search_conversations`. It parses your queries and returns the exact threads you need to debug a problem. Verify your connection anytime with `verify_api_status`. If the tool returns 200, you know your agent is ready to pull data from your inbox into your current file.
