How to Use the Holiday API MCP in Windsurf
Let Windsurf calculate your team's project timelines and payroll dates by pulling live holiday data directly into your workflow.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Holiday API MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Holiday API 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 schedule planning in Windsurf
Stop guessing when a project will land. Cascade can use `get_next_workday` to calculate project delivery dates while accounting for regional bank holidays in any country. You just define the start date and the duration. The agent handles the calendar math automatically, ensuring your plans don't crash into a closed office.
Validate payroll logic with this MCP Server
Prevent payroll errors by feeding verified data into your scripts. Use `get_workdays_count` to determine exact labor hours for employees across 50+ countries. Windsurf reads the output to confirm if a specific date range triggers overtime or holiday pay rates. It turns a manual audit into a background task.
Global holiday lookups for Windsurf
Need to know if the Berlin office is open next Tuesday? Ask Cascade to run `get_holidays` for the specific region. It pulls the current list of public and federal dates immediately. You get the facts without switching tabs or digging through government websites.
