How to Use the GroundX MCP in Windsurf
Use GroundX in Windsurf to turn raw docs into searchable RAG context without leaving your IDE's Cascade agent.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect GroundX MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect GroundX 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.
Automate data ingestion in Windsurf
Cascade doesn't just read files; it pushes them directly into your workflow. Use `ingest_documents` or `ingest_website` to feed raw data into your buckets instantly. Once the files land, trigger `get_ingest_status` to monitor the pipeline. Cascade handles the polling while you keep coding.
Targeted search with GroundX tools
Stop hunting through folders. Ask your agent to use `search_content` to pull relevant snippets from your entire knowledge base. It performs semantic lookups across your buckets. You get exact answers fed back into your current file context.
Manage your RAG infrastructure
Keep your project organized by calling `list_buckets` and `list_groups` through the Windsurf MCP interface. When you need to verify your setup, use `get_customer_info`. It shows you exactly what's connected and ready for your next query.
