How to Use the Imagine.io MCP in Windsurf

Q: What happens if a render job fails?

You can use getjobstatus to inspect the error codes returned by the API. The agent can then log these details to help you debug the scene configuration.

Q: Does Imagine.io track my render credits?

The getaccount tool provides a real-time balance check. You can call this before starting a batch render to ensure you have enough credits to complete the job.

Automate 3D render jobs

Cascade handles the render lifecycle by triggering `create_render_job` based on your project requirements. You just define the scene and material parameters, then let the agent handle the request. Once the job starts, the agent uses `get_job_status` to monitor progress. You get the final output without manually polling the API or switching windows.

Query product and scene metadata

The MCP Server exposes `list_scenes` and `list_materials` so you can pull exact assets into your development environment. Cascade reads these lists to ensure your 3D compositions use the correct library items. Use `get_product` to fetch specific metadata for any item in your catalog. This allows you to build data-driven visualizers that stay synced with your actual inventory.

Manage account resources

Keep an eye on your production limits by calling `get_account` within your Windsurf workspace. This tool returns your current credit balance so you never hit a hard stop during a render sprint. You can also run `list_renders` to audit your history. It shows you which jobs finished and which ones are still processing, keeping your project history clean.
