How to Use the Kintone MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf update Kintone records automatically?

Yes. Cascade chains listrecords to find the target data and updaterecord to apply changes. You state the goal, and the agent executes the sequence.

Q: What query format does Windsurf use for Kintone?

The listrecords tool accepts standard Kintone query strings. Cascade formats these strings based on the field codes it finds via getapplayout.

Connect Kintone to Windsurf so Cascade can autonomously manage your business apps and records.

Map Business Logic with Windsurf

The `list_apps` tool pulls every Kintone workspace application directly into your Windsurf environment. Cascade scans this directory to identify the correct App IDs required for subsequent data operations. Once it targets an application, Cascade runs `get_app_details` and `get_app_layout` to map the exact field structures. It reads the form definitions and figures out the required inputs without asking you to check the Kintone web interface.

Autonomous Data Entry

The `add_record` tool pushes new entries into your databases using JSON objects mapped to specific field codes. You tell Cascade to log a new customer, and it formats the payload, submits it, and verifies the creation. For existing data, Cascade chains `update_record` to modify fields and `delete_records` to clear out stale entries using arrays of record IDs. The agent handles the entire lifecycle inside your editor.

Fetch Kintone Data via MCP Server

The `list_records` tool accepts query strings to filter and return specific datasets from your workspaces. Cascade uses this to pull bulk data into your IDE context for analysis or code generation. When you need exact details, `get_record` targets a single entry. The agent can also run `list_space_members` to see who has access to the current workspace, giving you a full picture of the data environment.

Every data operation requires a target application. Cascade runs `list_apps` first to find the correct ID before attempting any record modifications.

Windsurf operates locally and only reads the specific business records and workspace member lists you request over the MCP protocol. The V8 Isolate Sandbox drops the connection immediately after execution, leaving no cached customer data behind.
