Connect Groq MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Groq 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.
Real-time chat completions in Windsurf
Cascade pulls `chat_completion` to generate code suggestions without the lag you expect from standard inference. It handles Llama and Mixtral models directly in your editor. Stop waiting for token streams to finish. The LPU architecture delivers results as fast as your IDE can render them.
Structured data handling for your agent
Use `structured_output` to force the Groq MCP Server to return clean JSON for your pipeline. Cascade parses these responses into your codebase without manual cleanup. This keeps your agent logic predictable. You get the exact schema your functions require for every call.
Full model control within the MCP Server
Use `list_models` and `get_model` to see exactly what is available for your current task. You'll know the capability limits before you start coding. Cascade checks these details automatically. It picks the right model for the job so you don't have to guess.
