How to Use the Hudu MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf handle Hudu credential decryption?

Windsurf uses the getpassword tool on this MCP Server to request decrypted values directly from your Hudu instance. Cascade displays these securely within your active terminal session or editor context when you request them.

Q: Can Cascade create bulk companies in Hudu using Windsurf?

Yes, Cascade can chain createcompany calls in a loop. You provide a list of names, and Windsurf executes the creations one by one, verifying each with getcompany.

Q: What happens if a Hudu procedure is too long for Windsurf?

When calling getprocedure, the server returns the raw markdown. Windsurf processes this text directly in Cascade's context window, allowing the agent to parse even lengthy step-by-step guides.

Q: Can I filter Hudu assets by client inside Windsurf?

Yes, the listassets tool accepts a company ID filter. Cascade uses this parameter to narrow down the asset list, preventing your Windsurf workspace from getting cluttered with irrelevant hardware records.

Q: How does the Windsurf MCP integration protect my Hudu passwords?

All password data fetched via getpassword stays inside your local Windsurf environment. Vinkius runs the server in a secure, zero-trust sandbox, meaning your sensitive IT credentials never leak to external logging services.

Let Cascade autonomously query Hudu documentation and update assets without leaving your Windsurf workspace.

Read-Only Documentation Audits in Windsurf

This MCP Server exposes tools like `list_procedures` and `get_procedure` directly to Windsurf so Cascade can audit your IT playbooks. You ask Cascade to check a client's setup process, and it chains these calls to pull the exact markdown guide you need. Instead of clicking through web tabs, Cascade reads the output of `get_article` to verify steps against your current code. It handles the entire lookup sequence in one shot, leaving you with a clean summary of what's missing in your Hudu documentation.

Autonomous Asset and Company Creation

When onboarding new clients, Cascade uses `create_company` and `create_asset` to populate your Hudu instance. You tell Cascade to set up a new tenant, and it executes the sequence, mapping the company name and creating initial hardware assets instantly. The agent verifies each step by running `get_company` right after creation. This ensures your documentation stays current without manual data entry during hectic onboarding sprints.

On-the-Fly Password and Credential Lookups

The MCP Server exposes `get_password` and `list_passwords` to let Cascade pull credentials when debugging deployment scripts. Instead of hunting down API keys, Windsurf queries Hudu for the specific target company ID and pulls the decrypted details. Cascade runs these lookups in the background while you focus on writing code. It only grabs the passwords matching your active context, keeping your credentials organized and accessible.
