How to Use the HetrixTools MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf and HetrixTools automatically mute my alerts?

Yes. Cascade can execute setmaintenancemode right before you run a deployment script. It switches the target monitor to maintenance mode without notifications.

Q: What happens if HetrixTools finds a blacklisted IP through Windsurf?

Cascade runs checkipblacklist and reads the response. If your IPv4 address is flagged, the agent shows you the exact blocklist and prompts you to request a delisting.

Q: How does HetrixTools handle bulk reporting in this client?

You ask Cascade to pull the data. It runs listbulkreports to fetch the generated documents.

Let Windsurf Cascade automate your HetrixTools monitoring. Stop checking IPs manually and let your AI client handle the alerts.

Automate uptime tracking in Windsurf

The `list_uptime_monitors` tool lets your AI client check server health directly from the IDE. You tell Cascade to audit your current infrastructure, and it pulls the exact status of every endpoint. If something looks off, it digs into the historical data using `list_uptime_reports` to find the root cause. You don't have to leave the editor to manage these alerts. Cascade can execute `add_uptime_monitor` to track a new staging environment as soon as you deploy the code. When you tear down that environment, it cleans up the mess with `delete_uptime_monitor`.

HetrixTools MCP Server blacklist detection

The `check_domain_blacklist` tool lets Cascade scan your mail domains for delivery issues on demand. You type a prompt about email bounce rates, and Windsurf immediately runs the diagnostic. It checks the specific domain against major blocklists and returns the raw status. IP reputation works the exact same way. Cascade fires off `check_ip_blacklist` to see if your IPv4 addresses are flagged. Since these results take a few minutes to process, Windsurf handles the wait time asynchronously while you keep working on other code.

Control maintenance modes autonomously

The `set_maintenance_mode` tool lets Cascade suppress alerts autonomously during your deployments. It accepts specific modes, like switching to mode 3 to silence notifications entirely while you push a massive database migration. When the migration finishes, it sets the monitor back to mode 1. Resource limits matter when you automate API calls. Windsurf tracks your quota by calling `get_account_usage` before running heavy bulk operations. If you need to verify who gets the alerts, it pulls the exact distribution list using `list_contact_lists`.

Setup guide

Set up HetrixTools 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 HetrixTools 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 HetrixTools payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the HetrixTools tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
