How to Use the Katana MCP in Windsurf

Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Katana MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Katana 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 sales orders with Windsurf
Cascade handles the entire order lifecycle by calling `create_sales_order` directly. You define the customer and product, and the agent executes the request without you needing to switch tabs. This MCP Server allows Windsurf to chain multiple actions. It validates the order against `list_products` before committing, ensuring your production data stays clean.
Real-time inventory tracking
Windsurf monitors stock levels using `list_inventory` to keep your project context updated. You don't have to manually check the ERP when you're drafting supply chain code. Query `get_inventory_by_variant` to pull specific SKU data into your editor. The agent sees the exact figures and adjusts your logic based on the actual numbers returned.
Connect manufacturing workflows
Manage your production floor by surfacing data from `list_manufacturing_orders` inside your IDE. Cascade reads these orders to help you write better sync scripts for your shop floor. Check `list_materials` to verify your raw stock status. The server provides the live data, and Windsurf uses it to build your assembly logic.
