How to Use the Jamf Pro MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure my Jamf Pro credentials inside Windsurf?

You can edit your global configuration file at /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json and add the server under the mcpServers key. Once saved, you can manage the connection directly through the Windsurf MCP Server settings.

Q: Does this tool support querying Jamf organizational metadata?

It does. The server provides dedicated tools like listdepartments and listbuildings to help you map your hardware assets to physical offices and business units.

Run hands-off fleet audits inside Windsurf

Cascade doesn't wait for step-by-step instructions when you need to audit your Apple hardware. Tell the agent to find out which departments are running outdated macOS builds, and it links multiple operations together. It first pulls the full directory using `list_departments`, matches users via `list_users`, and then pulls specific machine specs. Instead of prompting for every single step, Windsurf runs this chain autonomously. It calls `list_computers` to get the hardware IDs and then triggers `get_computer` for each machine to verify disk encryption status and installed software. You get a finished report without writing a single line of API polling code.

Map mobile device distribution across your offices

Tracking down iPads and iPhones across multiple physical sites usually takes a dozen manual API calls. This MCP Server exposes your physical layout directly to the Cascade engine. The agent reads your office setups using `list_buildings` and connects those locations to your mobile assets. By running `list_mobile_devices` and `get_mobile_device` in sequence, Windsurf maps every mobile serial number to its assigned user and physical location. If Cascade notices a spike in unassigned mobile devices in a specific building, it flags the anomaly and shows you the exact hardware list.

Audit custom automation scripts and packages

Security teams frequently need to review what custom code runs on corporate Macs. Windsurf handles this by letting Cascade inspect your active Jamf distribution points and script libraries. The agent pulls the complete list of deployed installers using `list_packages` and scans your remote execution assets. By invoking `list_scripts`, Cascade checks your custom shell scripts for outdated patterns or hardcoded variables. It groups these scripts by management category using `list_categories` so you can quickly see which automation assets belong to your security or infrastructure teams.

Setup guide

Set up Jamf Pro MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

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

1

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.
2

Add the Jamf Pro MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

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.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Jamf Pro payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Jamf Pro tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Jamf Pro MCP in Windsurf

Cascade uses its autonomous planning to chain tools together. When you ask for a hardware compliance report, it calls `list_computers` first, extracts the IDs, and automatically runs `get_computer` on each target without waiting for your permission.

Yes, Windsurf can query your inventory to find unassigned assets. It calls `list_mobile_devices` to pull the active fleet and then uses `get_mobile_device` to inspect the assigned user field for each device.

You can edit your global configuration file at `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` and add the server under the `mcpServers` key. Once saved, you can manage the connection directly through the Windsurf MCP Server settings.

It does. The server provides dedicated tools like `list_departments` and `list_buildings` to help you map your hardware assets to physical offices and business units.

Your Jamf hardware serials, user associations, and device configurations never touch external LLM training loops. Vinkius runs the MCP Server inside an isolated, zero-trust V8 sandbox that only passes the raw JSON tool outputs directly to your local editor.
