Chain-aware development in Windsurf

Cascade doesn't just read code; it checks live IoTeX state. Use `get_account` to verify balances before running migrations or testing logic. Windsurf chains these calls automatically. If you ask to debug a failed transaction, Cascade runs `get_action` and interprets the receipt status without you typing a single command.

Automated block analysis for Windsurf

Stop switching tabs to check block explorers. When you need to inspect chain history, Cascade uses `get_block_by_height` or `get_block_by_hash` to pull the raw data into your current context. This MCP Server provides the granular details you need. You'll see the exact timestamp and transaction count for any block, letting you verify network conditions instantly.

Token and holder tracking

Tracking asset distribution is a chore until you automate it. Cascade uses `get_token` to pull metadata and `get_token_holders` to map supply distribution. Everything happens inside the editor. You get the data, and Windsurf keeps the context active for your next development task.
