Automated check-in management in Windsurf

Cascade reads your `list_active_checkins` data to show you exactly who is at the facility right now. It pulls the status directly from the board so you don't have to hunt for it. Once the agent identifies a pet, it uses `get_digital_whiteboard` to cross-reference current occupancy. You get a clear view of your floor without manual lookup.

Direct owner profile access for Windsurf

Cascade uses `find_owner_by_email` or `find_owner_by_phone` to grab client records the second you need them. It pulls everything from contact info to history without you leaving the chat. When you need more detail, it triggers `get_pet_owner_details` to surface specific medical or behavioral notes. The agent prepares the data before you even ask for it.

Full reservation history for Windsurf

The agent executes `list_owner_reservations` to build a complete booking timeline for any client. It maps out past stays and upcoming visits in a readable format. Cascade can also hit `search_owner_custom_fields` to find specific preferences stored in your account. You get the full picture of your customer relationship in one go.

Common questions about Gingr MCP in Windsurf

Just ask Cascade to look them up by phone or email. It uses the `find_owner_by_phone` or `find_owner_by_email` tools to pull their details instantly.

Yes. Ask the agent to show the current whiteboard and it calls `get_digital_whiteboard` to display the active list of pets currently on-site.

It can. If you need to check custom data on a pet or owner, the agent calls `search_pet_custom_fields` or `search_owner_custom_fields` to retrieve that info.

Open your MCP settings panel and add the server under the mcpServers list. Refresh the panel to let Cascade discover the tools.

Your data stays between your local instance and the API. We don't store your pet medical records or owner contact info; the server acts as a direct pipe for your queries.
