How to Use the Hudu MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf know which Hudu company to query?

Cascade usually starts by running listcompanies to find the exact ID matching your project context. It then passes that ID into getcompany to isolate the search scope before pulling specific assets.

Q: Is Windsurf storing my Hudu passwords?

Windsurf processes the output from listpasswords in memory during the active Cascade session. The protocol isolates this data transfer, meaning your credentials never persist in training logs or external storage outside the local machine.

Connect Hudu to Windsurf to let Cascade autonomously query IT documentation, assets, and procedures while you write code.

Perplexity

Map Infrastructure with Windsurf

The Hudu MCP Server lets Windsurf read your documented IT environments directly. Cascade uses `list_networks` and `list_assets` to pull IP ranges, device types, and hardware configurations without leaving the IDE. You tell Cascade to build a network topology script. It queries the live data, maps the relationships between switches and endpoints, and generates the Python code to visualize it. You don't have to copy-paste subnets from a browser.

Secure Credential Injection

The Hudu MCP Server eliminates hardcoded credentials by pulling them directly. Cascade calls `list_passwords` to grab stored service account details and injects them into your local environment variables. It filters the results by company using `list_companies` and `get_company`, ensuring the right staging keys map to the right client projects. The agent handles the lookup sequence autonomously while you focus on the application logic.

Turn Runbooks into Executable Code

The Hudu MCP Server turns static support guides into active scripts. Windsurf pulls data through `list_procedures` and `list_articles` to understand your exact operational standards. When you need to automate an onboarding sequence, Cascade reads the exact steps from your knowledge base. It translates human-readable documentation into bash scripts or Terraform configurations, checking `list_activity_logs` to ensure no overlapping operations occurred recently.

Setup guide

Set up Hudu MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Hudu MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Hudu payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Hudu tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
