How to Use the GoRest MCP in Windsurf

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

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Once saved, click the refresh button in the Windsurf MCP panel, and Cascade will immediately discover all twenty-three tools.

Q: Can Windsurf Cascade chain GoRest tools without manual approval?

Yes, Cascade is built to chain operations like running createuser and then using the new ID for createuserpost in a single execution loop. You only need to approve the initial plan before Cascade executes the tool sequence.

Q: What happens if a paginated request fails during a run?

Cascade detects the API error from tools like listposts, inspects the response headers, and automatically adjusts the page parameters for the next attempt. It handles the retry logic without you needing to rewrite the query.

Get Windsurf Cascade to build and test API features autonomously using real RESTful mock data in seconds.

Chain GoRest user creation and posts in Windsurf

The GoRest MCP Server lets Cascade handle user setup and content publishing in one go without constant prompting. Cascade reads your local setup, runs `create_user`, and immediately feeds that generated ID into `create_user_post` to generate mock data. You do not need to copy and paste IDs between manual runs. Cascade plans the sequence, executes both API calls, and shows you the final populated user profile.

Automated mock data cleanup with Cascade

The `delete_user` tool lets your AI client clean up sandbox environments after running integration tests. Cascade identifies orphaned mock profiles, pulls their IDs using `list_users`, and runs the deletion calls sequentially. This keeps your development database clean without manual scripting. Windsurf handles the entire teardown loop autonomously while you focus on writing core features.

Real-time todo generation for UI testing

The `create_user_todo` tool populates your Windsurf coding workspace with live, structured task lists for interface prototyping. Cascade chains this tool with `list_todos` to verify that your front-end components render completed and pending states correctly. Instead of hardcoding static JSON arrays, you get live, paginated data directly from the GoRest endpoints. Cascade updates the UI code on the fly to match the exact schema returned by the server.

Setup guide

Set up GoRest MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the GoRest MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my GoRest payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the GoRest tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
