Audit campaign structures in Windsurf

Cascade can now query your ad data without leaving the editor. By calling `list_campaigns` and `get_campaign`, the agent maps out your active setups to identify potential misconfigurations. It doesn't just read data; it understands the hierarchy. You'll get a clear view of how your flights and zones relate before you write a single line of code.

Validate creative assets automatically

Stop digging through the dashboard to find image specs or status codes. Use `list_creatives` and `list_ads` to pull current assets directly into your terminal or chat window. Windsurf chains these calls to verify that your active ads match the targeting requirements. It keeps your production code synced with the actual state of your Kevel account.

Map inventory slots with Cascade

Give the agent a task to audit site performance and it will execute `list_sites` and `list_zones` to generate a report. It cross-references these with `list_channels` to show you exactly where traffic is moving. This turns your IDE into a real-time monitoring station. You see the inventory reality instead of relying on outdated documentation.

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.

Common questions about Kevel MCP in Windsurf

It provides a direct bridge between your IDE and the Kevel Management API. Once you add the server to your config, Cascade uses its tool-calling logic to fetch live data about your sites and zones.

No. The current tools are strictly read-only, meaning you can pull data to inform your code, but you cannot change your campaign settings from Windsurf.

Yes. The server operates in an ephemeral sandbox and only transmits data you explicitly request during a chat session. Your credentials stay localized to your machine.

You need a valid Management API key with read-only access. The server uses this token to authenticate requests on your behalf.

Check the MCP panel in the sidebar to ensure the server is connected. If a tool fails, look at the Cascade logs to see if the API returned a 401 or 403 error regarding your Kevel credentials.
