Perplexity

Automate learner data retrieval

Cascade pulls specific learner profiles using `get_learner` or fetches your organization's full roster with `list_learners`. You don't need to manually hunt for IDs. Windsurf chains these calls to populate your local context. It maps the returned JSON directly into your project files.

Sync training progress

Use `list_results` to grab current assessment data for any user. This keeps your local development environment aligned with real training metrics. Cascade handles the parsing of `list_modules` and `list_pathways` automatically. It builds the structure you need without extra setup.

Map organizational structure

Query your company's hierarchy by calling `list_departments` or `list_locations`. This helps you associate training data with specific teams. Your AI client uses these tools to cross-reference `list_tags` against course lists. It organizes the data based on your specific project requirements.

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

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.

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.

Common questions about Innform MCP in Windsurf

Open your MCP settings panel within Windsurf and add the server details. Once you refresh the panel, Cascade detects the available tools and starts executing them.

Yes. You provide your endpoint token during the initial setup in the MCP config file. The server manages the session securely after that.

It does. Cascade can chain these tools to perform multi-step tasks like fetching learner results and updating documentation without manual input.

It accesses learner profiles, training module lists, and assessment results. No sensitive personal credentials beyond what is required for API access are stored.

All communication occurs over encrypted channels. We use ephemeral sessions that clear after the task finishes, keeping your organization's training data isolated.
