Perplexity

Automate Instagram publishing workflows inside Windsurf

The `publish_photo` and `publish_reel` tools let Cascade deploy media to your feeds based on your local assets. Cascade handles the heavy lifting by staging the media, validating the public HTTPS URLs, and asking you for final confirmation before posting. You don't have to prompt every single step. Just point Cascade to your folder of assets, and it will handle the rest, even running `get_profile` to make sure your bio link matches the latest post before pushing the live media.

Multi-step comment triage via Windsurf MCP Server

The `get_comments` tool pulls live sentiment data directly into your IDE workspace. Cascade reads these comment lists, identifies spam, and instantly chains `delete_comment` or `reply_comment` to keep your community clean. This autonomous loop runs without manual intervention for every single post. Because Cascade handles the context parsing, it spots negative patterns or questions and executes the right response tool in a single, fluid run.

Closed-loop performance optimization

The `get_insights` tool retrieves impressions, reach, and saves for your recent posts. Cascade pulls these numbers, compares them with previous runs, and updates your local content calendar files with the best performing times. It also runs `get_media` and `get_media_children` to break down carousel performance. You see exactly which slides keep people sliding, all without leaving your editor.
