How to Use the GatherUp MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I check review metrics for all my locations with GatherUp in Windsurf?

Just ask it to. Windsurf's agent will use listbusinesslocations to get a list of your stores and then call getreviewmetrics for each one to build a complete report for you.

Q: What's the best way to search for specific feedback?

Use the searchallreviews tool. Give Windsurf a keyword, and it will search both internal feedback and public reviews from all your connected sources at once.

Let Windsurf's Cascade agent manage your customer reviews with GatherUp, from sending invites to replying to feedback, all on its own.

Perplexity

Automate Review Outreach

Stop manually chasing reviews. Just give Windsurf a goal, like "Get 10 new reviews this week." Its Cascade agent takes over from there. Cascade plans and executes the whole sequence. It calls `list_customer_contacts` to find recent customers, then uses `send_review_invite` to ask for their feedback. You don't have to prompt each step—it just works.

Proactive Reputation Management

Let your agent watch for trouble. You can set up a recurring task in Windsurf to monitor your brand's reputation using this MCP server. Cascade can periodically run `list_online_reviews`, check for low ratings, and flag them. If it finds a one-star review, it can immediately use `reply_to_online_review` to draft a response, turning a potential crisis into a customer service win before you've even had your coffee.

Get Business Health Reports with this MCP Server

Running reports across multiple locations is tedious. Instead, tell Windsurf: "Report on review metrics for all my New York stores." It will use `list_business_locations` to find the right business units, then loop through them calling `get_review_metrics` for each one. The final result is a clean, consolidated report delivered right in your IDE, saving you a ton of time.

Just ask it to. Windsurf's agent will use `list_business_locations` to get a list of your stores and then call `get_review_metrics` for each one to build a complete report for you.
