Fleet Auditing with Windsurf

The `list_devices` tool returns names, IDs, and OS versions for your entire Apple fleet. Cascade reads this array, identifies outdated Macs, and instantly maps them to their owners. Once Cascade flags a vulnerable machine, it calls `get_device` for a deep audit of that specific asset. You don't have to write a script. You just ask Windsurf to find unpatched laptops, and the agent handles the pagination and filtering on its own.

Security Policy Verification

The `list_parameters` tool exposes every security control configured in your MDM. Cascade checks these policies against your internal compliance requirements and flags missing file vault enforcements. To understand how these rules apply across departments, the agent uses `list_blueprints`. This managed MCP Server lets Windsurf cross-reference device groups with active policies. It generates a clear compliance matrix directly in your IDE workspace.

Software and Activity Tracking

The `list_auto_apps` tool audits standard software libraries deployed across your organization. Cascade pulls this data to ensure critical tools like your VPN client are present on all machines. When tracking down shadow IT, the agent triggers `list_custom_apps` to catch non-store software. If something looks suspicious, it checks `list_activity` to see exactly when the application was pushed and who approved the management action.

Common questions about Kandji MCP in Windsurf

Edit your mcp_config.json file or open the Cascade UI. Add the Vinkius endpoint URL under your server list and click refresh to load the tools.

Yes. Cascade chains multiple tools together to map your entire environment. It pulls the device list and cross-references it with your security policies automatically.

No. The available endpoints are read-only for security reasons. You can audit past wipe actions, but you cannot initiate new ones from the editor.

The agent calls the user directory endpoint to pull primary owners. It then matches those profiles against the hardware IDs returned from the device endpoints.

Vinkius routes your requests through a zero-trust V8 isolate sandbox. The connection is ephemeral, meaning your device names and OS versions are never stored on disk after the session ends.
