Connect Join MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Join to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate your hiring pipeline
Cascade reads your active job postings directly from the source using `list_jobs`. It maps these against your current applicant flow to keep your recruiting dashboard updated. Stop digging through browser tabs for status updates. Cascade pulls the latest data via `list_applications` so you can focus on interview prep.
Deep dive into candidate profiles
When you need to review someone for an open role, Cascade fetches their full profile using `get_candidate`. It pulls in contact info and job history so you have the facts before your first call. Use `get_application` to review internal notes and past interview feedback. You get the full picture without leaving your IDE.
Manage your team access
Check who is assigned to which role by querying `list_users`. Cascade verifies account permissions and hiring manager assignments to keep your workspace clean. Verify your own connection health with `get_me` to ensure you have the right access. Everything stays in sync through the Windsurf MCP integration.
