Autonomous donation lookups for Windsurf

Cascade reads your codebase and triggers `find_donations_by_email` or `find_donations_by_name` when you ask about specific donors. It grabs the relevant record directly from your dashboard. You don't need to write manual API requests. The agent finds the donor, parses the metadata, and presents the result in your chat panel.

Monitor campaign performance in Windsurf

Use `list_campaign_donations` to pull live results into your context window. Cascade processes the data to build reports or update project files based on real numbers. It handles the heavy lifting of sorting through thousands of entries. You get the insights you need without leaving your IDE session.

Verify your GiveForms MCP Server status

Run `verify_api_connection` to confirm your credentials are active before starting a deep dive into your data. It checks the handshake and reports back immediately. Keep your agent informed about connection health. If the link drops, it flags the issue so you can fix your environment variables.
