Auto-optimize assets using the Windsurf MCP Server
The `list_media_files` tool gives your agent immediate visibility into your remote media library right inside the IDE. Cascade scans your current codebase, identifies which local images need to go to your CDN, and pulls down details like file paths and dimensions using `get_file_details` to verify matches. Instead of manual uploads, your agent handles the sync. It updates file attributes with `patch_file_details` and verifies custom schemas using `list_custom_fields` so your front-end components always pull the correct crop coordinates.
Clear the edge cache autonomously
The `purge_cdn_cache` tool clears old media variants from edge locations instantly when assets change. Your agent uses this MCP tool to monitor file updates during code generation and fires purge requests to prevent users from seeing outdated layouts. You don't have to wait around guessing if the edge is updated. The agent polls the status with `get_purge_status` to confirm the CDN is clean before telling you the task is finished.
Batch cleanups and schema management
The `wipe_batch_assets` tool removes outdated design assets from your storage bucket in a single call. When Cascade refactors a UI component and deprecates old images, it identifies the stale files and drops them to save hosting costs. It can also define custom structures using `create_custom_schema` to support new metadata tags. For critical removals, the agent targets single files with `wipe_media_asset` to keep your media vault clean.
