How to Use the Howspace MCP in Windsurf

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

Open /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json and add the Howspace server to your Windsurf configuration. You can also use the Settings UI under Cascade to paste the Vinkius connection URL.

Q: Can Windsurf manage multiple Howspace cohorts at the same time?

Yes, Windsurf uses Cascade to run listcampaigns and loop through multiple createworkspace calls in a single session. This allows Windsurf to automate your entire Howspace setup without manual interventions.

Q: How does Cascade handle large Howspace participant lists?

Cascade calls listparticipants to fetch the Howspace roster and processes the batch inside Windsurf in chunks. This ensures Windsurf never hits Howspace API limits during large syncs.

Let Windsurf drive your Howspace workshops by spinning up workspaces and enrolling teams without manual click-work.

Perplexity

Spin up cohort spaces with Windsurf

The `create_workspace` tool lets Cascade spin up fresh Howspace digital rooms for your training cohorts instantly. You don't have to click through the Howspace web UI or write boilerplate scripts inside Windsurf to get things moving. Cascade checks your active setups using `list_campaigns` and links the new Howspace room to the right initiative. Windsurf chains these calls together, leaving you with a ready-to-use Howspace workspace before you even open your browser.

Automate user enrollment via Windsurf

The `add_participant` tool inside this Howspace MCP Server lets Windsurf read your local team rosters and register users directly. Managing Howspace participant rosters manually in Windsurf is a waste of your time. Cascade doesn't just stop after adding one name to your Howspace cohort. Windsurf loops through your list, verifies who got in by calling `list_participants` on Howspace, and flags any missing team members directly in your chat.

Monitor active workspaces on the fly

The `list_workspaces` tool pulls your active Howspace learning environments directly into the Windsurf editor. You get a live directory of your active Howspace rooms and the exact status of your training tracks inside Windsurf. If a specific Howspace room looks outdated, Cascade runs `get_workspace` to pull its metadata. This gives Windsurf a clear picture of who is active in Howspace and what needs archiving, all managed by your autonomous IDE.
