Autonomous Traffic Analysis in Windsurf
Cascade reads your site activity directly through the `run_report` tool. It pulls the specific dimensions you need and builds a context window for your current coding session. You don't have to manually query the API. Windsurf handles the connection so you can focus on building features based on actual user behavior.
Real-time Insight Generation
Use the `run_realtime_report` tool to see who is on your site right now. Cascade monitors these streams to detect sudden spikes or drops in traffic without you asking. This MCP Server provides the raw numbers while your agent translates them into actionable UI changes. It turns raw event data into immediate development tasks.
Device and Source Breakdown
Target specific user segments by invoking `get_device_breakdown` or `get_traffic_sources`. Windsurf uses these tools to identify where your visitors come from and what hardware they use. Having this data inside your IDE changes how you approach responsive design. You stop guessing which breakpoints matter and start optimizing for the devices your users actually touch.
