How to Use the GenerateBanners MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf and GenerateBanners check my API limits?

Yes. Cascade runs getaccount to pull your current plan details and remaining render credits. It also uses checkgbstatus to ensure the API is reachable before starting a large batch job.

Browse Categories with Windsurf

The `list_categories` and `search_templates` tools let Cascade find the exact design layout you need before it starts rendering. You tell Windsurf to build a social media campaign for a new product launch. Cascade immediately pulls the available categories and filters through specific layout constraints. Once it identifies the right visual structure, it runs `get_template` to inspect the exact schema required for the graphic. Your agent handles the entire discovery phase without you needing to open a browser tab.

Automate High-Volume Rendering

The `render_batch` tool generates hundreds of personalized ad variations in a single operation. You feed Cascade a JSON file containing your customer segments and ad copy. Windsurf reads the data and maps it to the template fields automatically. Instead of exporting images one by one, your agent pushes the entire batch payload to the API. It waits for the response and saves the finished graphics straight to your local assets folder.

Manage Campaigns via MCP Server

The `create_project` and `list_projects` tools organize your rendering tasks into distinct client or campaign buckets. When you start a new sprint, Windsurf sets up the workspace environment and creates a matching project ID on the server. If a campaign ends or you need to clean up testing data, it calls `delete_project`. You keep your local repository and remote rendering organized from the same interface.

Common questions about GenerateBanners MCP in Windsurf

Open your Settings, navigate to Cascade, and find the MCP Servers UI. You can click Refresh in the MCP panel after adding the configuration, or just use the built-in MCP Marketplace for a one-click install.

Yes. Cascade runs `get_account` to pull your current plan details and remaining render credits. It also uses `check_gb_status` to ensure the API is reachable before starting a large batch job.

You ask Cascade to render an image and provide the text. It uses `get_template` to read the required text and image fields, formats your data to match, and triggers `render_template`.

Windsurf catches the error response from the server. Cascade reads the logs, fixes the formatting issues in the JSON payload, and retries the render automatically.

This MCP connection only processes the specific text strings and image URLs you send through the rendering tools. The V8 Isolate Sandbox ensures your payload executes in a zero-trust, ephemeral environment where data disappears immediately after the graphic renders.
