Windsurf MCP Server for Data Pipelines

Cascade connects straight to your data warehouse integrations. You ask it to audit your current pipeline status, and it fires off `list_syncs` to grab every active configuration. It doesn't stop there. Without prompting, the agent chains that data into `list_sync_runs` to spot failures. You get a complete map of what broke and why, delivered straight to your editor.

Trace Models to Destinations

Finding out where a specific SQL model sends its data takes too many clicks in a browser. Windsurf handles this in seconds. It runs `list_models` to find the exact definition you care about. Then it maps that ID using `list_destinations`. You instantly see if that customer data feeds into your CRM or marketing platforms, letting you write code with actual context.

Debug Failed Syncs Autonomously

When a sync fails, Cascade jumps into action. It pulls the exact error logs using `get_sync` to understand the configuration rules. Next, it checks `list_sources` to verify if the warehouse connection dropped. You sit back while the IDE builds a full post-mortem report on the data outage.

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.

Add the Hightouch (Reverse ETL) 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 Hightouch (Reverse ETL) payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Hightouch (Reverse ETL) tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Hightouch (Reverse ETL) MCP in Windsurf

Open Settings, go to Cascade, and find the MCP Servers UI. You can also edit your `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file directly. Add the Vinkius endpoint token, click refresh, and Cascade will auto-discover the tools.

No, this server focuses strictly on read operations. Cascade can monitor past executions using `list_sync_runs` and check configurations, but it cannot force a new data push.

Cascade plans multi-tool sequences autonomously. If you ask it to check a broken pipeline, it will chain `list_models`, `get_sync`, and `list_sync_runs` together without asking for permission between steps.

You just tell Cascade your goal. The agent figures out which endpoints to call. It handles the API pagination and JSON parsing behind the scenes.

Your pipeline configurations and warehouse schemas stay secure. The server runs inside an ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox that destroys itself after execution. No sync logs or destination credentials leak into persistent storage.
