How to Use the Hiro.fm MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf Cascade handle bulk listener updates on Hiro.fm?

Cascade chains multiple tool calls together. It will call listcontacts to pull your current directory, compare it to your update list, and run createcontact or grantaccess for each new listener without requiring individual prompts.

Q: What is the easiest way to configure the Hiro.fm MCP Server in Windsurf?

Open your user settings or edit /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json directly. Add the server under the mcpServers key with your Vinkius token. Once you click refresh in the MCP panel, Cascade auto-discovers the tools.

Q: Do I need to manually map tags when running these tools?

No. Your agent can run listtags to inspect your current tag structure in Hiro.fm. It then applies the correct tags during the createcontact call based on the context of your workspace files.

Run your private audio feeds inside Windsurf by letting Cascade auto-provision listener access and upload new tracks.

Automate listener onboarding with Windsurf Cascade

This Hiro.fm MCP Server lets Windsurf manage your entire listener list without manual intervention. Cascade can chain a sequence to detect a new customer signup, run `create_contact` to save their details, and immediately call `grant_access` to link them to your private feed. You don't have to trigger each step. Cascade handles the multi-tool sequence autonomously, checking `list_shows` to find the correct feed ID before executing the grant. It handles the entire flow in one go.

Push audio files directly from your workspace

The Hiro.fm MCP Server enables direct audio uploads straight from your local project files inside Windsurf. When Cascade spots a new MP3 or WAV file in your workspace, it uses `add_audio` to upload the file to your specific show. Your agent checks the existing tracks first using `list_audio` to avoid duplicates. It keeps your private feed clean and updated without you ever opening a browser tab.

Control premium content access on the fly

This MCP Server gives Windsurf the power to audit and revoke feed access based on live billing updates. Cascade runs `list_contacts` to pull your active listener database and matches it against your billing logs. If a subscription lapses, Cascade executes `revoke_access` to cut off that listener's private podcast feed. It keeps your intellectual property secure by executing these checks in the background.
