How to Use the Hexomatic MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect the Hexomatic MCP Server to Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Alternatively, use the Settings UI under Cascade to add the Vinkius endpoint token, then click refresh.

Q: Can Cascade run a Hexomatic workflow with custom input URLs?

Yes, Cascade handles this easily. It uses the runworkflow tool and automatically formats your list of target URLs into the required JSON payload before starting the run.

Q: Does this MCP Server let Windsurf check my remaining credits?

It does. Cascade can call getaccountusage to see your current plan status and remaining automation credits before triggering heavy scraping jobs.

Q: How do I find a specific workflow ID in Windsurf?

Use the searchworkflows tool to look up your workflows by name directly from the chat interface. You can also run listworkflows to get a complete list of active IDs.

Run Hexomatic workflows automatically in Windsurf

The `run_workflow` tool lets Cascade start any scraping job or automation in your account without manual intervention. You give Cascade a goal—like pulling pricing data from a list of competitor URLs—and it structures the `body_json` payload, kicks off the run, and monitors progress. This setup eliminates the need to constantly switch back and forth to your browser dashboard. Cascade chains the execution, checks when it finishes, and hands you the clean data directly in your editor.

Track scraping runs directly in your workspace

The `get_execution_logs` tool pulls real-time execution steps and status updates for any running workflow directly into your workspace. Cascade uses this data to verify if a scraping job encountered anti-bot blocks or completed successfully. If a job fails, the agent reads the exact error logs to troubleshoot the issue. It can then adjust the input variables or suggest fixes to your target site parameters immediately.

Find and inspect your Hexomatic scraping recipes

The `list_scraping_recipes` tool exposes your entire library of point-and-click scraping configurations to the Windsurf environment. Your agent scans this list to find the exact parser needed for your current task. By pairing this with `list_automations`, Cascade identifies pre-built tools like tech stack discovery or SEO audits that fit your project. You do not have to remember recipe IDs or look up configurations manually.
