How to Use the GorillaDesk MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure the GorillaDesk integration inside Windsurf?

Edit your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file to add the server URL under the mcpServers key. Alternatively, use the Windsurf settings UI to connect the endpoint and refresh the tools.

Q: Can Cascade run multiple tools in a single session?

Chain customer onboarding and job dispatch in Windsurf

`create_customer` writes new accounts directly to your database when Cascade parses incoming emails. The agent reads raw text, extracts contact details, and runs the command via the MCP Server without manual data entry. `list_users` then checks which technician is closest to the new client's address. Cascade chains these tools to assign the work order, saving you from clicking through multiple browser tabs.

Automate billing sequences using this MCP Server

`list_invoices` pulls unpaid balances directly into your Windsurf workspace. This MCP Server lets you scan outstanding accounts, retrieve matching job records with `get_job`, and flag delinquent clients. You don't need to write custom scripts to track down late payments. Cascade compiles the billing history and prepares automated follow-up drafts based on live GorillaDesk data.

Synchronize operational logs and field notes

`create_note` appends field updates to client profiles directly from your active code file. Cascade monitors your workspace, extracts technician feedback, and pushes it to the cloud. `list_notes` verifies the historic logs before committing new entries. Your field crew stays updated because the agent keeps the central log clean and accurate.
