How to Use the Giftbit MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect the Giftbit MCP Server to Windsurf?

Open your mcpconfig.json file in Windsurf or use Settings -> Cascade -> MCP Servers. Add the Giftbit server details under mcpServers and refresh the panel to let Cascade discover the 12 reward tools.

Q: Can Windsurf automate bulk corporate gifting using Giftbit?

Auto-order gift cards with Windsurf Cascade

The `order_email_rewards` tool lets Cascade send digital gift cards directly to your recipients. Cascade reads your context, grabs recipient emails from your active files, and places the Giftbit orders autonomously. This MCP Server handles the entire Giftbit transaction loop inside Windsurf without manual intervention. If an order fails, Cascade checks `verify_api_connection` immediately to diagnose connection issues with Giftbit.

Explore reward catalogs and regions

The `list_reward_brands` tool fetches available gift cards based on your Windsurf campaign requirements. Cascade uses this Giftbit data to filter brands that fit your target audience and budget automatically. You can also run `list_delivery_regions` inside Windsurf to ensure your recipients can actually redeem the cards. Cascade matches Giftbit regional availability with your customer list before generating any links.

Track delivery and campaign status

The `get_gift_status` tool retrieves the current delivery and redemption state of any individual Giftbit reward. Cascade monitors these Giftbit states in the background and logs the results directly in your Windsurf workspace. For bulk distributions, Cascade calls `get_campaign_status` to evaluate overall Giftbit campaign performance. Windsurf gives you a clear picture of which Giftbit rewards are pending or completed.
