Perplexity

Audit Live Funding Data

The `get_campaign_details` tool retrieves real-time funding amounts, backer counts, and campaign status for any project ID you feed it. Cascade uses this raw data to instantly calculate average backer contributions or map out funding trajectories without requiring manual copy-pasting. You specify the target campaign, and your agent pulls the numbers, parses the JSON payload, and formats a clean markdown table in your workspace. It bypasses the web interface entirely, giving you raw metrics to evaluate product viability.

Search Campaigns in Windsurf

The `search_indiegogo_campaigns` tool lets your agent scan active projects based on keywords, funding status, or categories. This MCP Server integration allows Cascade to run multi-step market analysis by finding top projects and then pulling their deep metrics in one go. Instead of running separate searches in a browser, you tell Cascade what niche you want to explore. The agent runs the query, filters out the noise, and presents a curated list of high-velocity campaigns directly in your editor.

Map Market Sectors Instantly

The `list_indiegogo_categories` tool lists all valid project categories available on the platform so you never run queries against dead endpoints. Cascade references this MCP list to validate your search filters before execution, saving API quota. It ensures your automated market reports target the correct verticals. The agent matches your input against the official taxonomy, maps the IDs, and builds clean data pipelines based on accurate classification.
