…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Glob Pattern Tester MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Glob Pattern Tester to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Instant glob pattern verification
Stop guessing if your path filters are correct. Use the `test_glob` tool to check patterns against file paths while Cascade builds your project. It runs the same matching engine as npm and git. You get a clear boolean response every time you test a rule.
Automated path matching in Windsurf
Cascade can chain this MCP Server to audit your entire project ignore list automatically. It flags mismatched patterns before you commit code. This prevents the common headache of files slipping into builds when they should be excluded. Just let the agent handle the validation.
Precision testing for Windsurf users
You can feed complex patterns like recursive directory wildcards into `test_glob` to see if they capture your targets. The tool returns the exact match status, so you know exactly why a rule is failing or passing. It keeps your project configuration clean.
