Perplexity

Automated meeting context in Windsurf

Cascade reads your meeting notes without leaving the IDE. You can trigger `get_insights` and `get_action_items` to pull project requirements straight from recent calls. Windsurf chains these calls to update your tickets or documentation. It handles the data flow while you focus on shipping code.

Search and retrieve recordings

Find specific technical discussions using `search_recordings` while Cascade monitors the output. You don't need to leave your editor to find what was said. Once you find the right clip, use `get_transcript` to grab the exact commands or architecture decisions. It puts the meeting data exactly where you need it.

Manage workspace data

Use `list_workspace_members` and `list_tags` to keep your project context organized. This MCP server lets Windsurf pull metadata to track who said what in your latest sync. It handles the heavy lifting of parsing workspace records. You get the specific info without digging through browser tabs.
