Windsurf MCP Server for Property Data

The `list_properties` tool pulls every active vacation rental under an agency directly into your editor context. You give Cascade a high-level goal, like mapping property availability to a new frontend component. It figures out the required steps automatically. Instead of prompting for each API call, Cascade fetches the agency ID via `list_agencies` and immediately chains it to `list_properties`. The agent reads the raw JSON response and generates the exact TypeScript interfaces you need. You don't write manual schema types.

Automate Lead and Guest Workflows

Calling `list_leads` gives your agent direct access to booking inquiries and guest communications. Cascade uses this to populate test databases or mock UI states without leaving the IDE. If a specific booking needs debugging, the agent runs `get_lead` to pull the exact payload. It then cross-references guest details using `list_guests`. You watch the terminal output while Cascade handles the data flow end-to-end.

Manage Agency Operations

The `list_service_providers` tool exposes your cleaners and maintenance staff records. You ask Windsurf to build a scheduling dashboard, and it pulls the real operational data to structure the views. When you need to set up event triggers, Cascade queries `list_webhooks`. It evaluates your current notification endpoints and writes the integration code to catch new booking events. You skip the API docs entirely.

Common questions about Hostfully MCP in Windsurf

Edit the `mcp_config.json` file located in your `~/.codeium/windsurf/` directory. Add the server details under the `mcpServers` key, then click Refresh in the MCP panel. Cascade auto-discovers the tools immediately.

Yes. Cascade reads your intent and executes multiple tool calls in sequence. It might run `list_agencies` first, grab the ID, and feed it right into `list_owners` without asking for your permission.

Standard clients require manual request crafting and token management for every endpoint. This MCP Server lets your agent handle the payload formatting. You just ask for the data.

You absolutely can. Tell Cascade to generate a revenue report component. It queries `get_property` and `list_leads`, parses the financial fields, and writes the React code to display it.

The server processes raw JSON containing guest names and booking details via the `list_guests` tool. Vinkius isolates this execution in an ephemeral V8 sandbox, ensuring your rental data never persists on disk or leaks across sessions.
