How to Use the Klipfolio MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf update Klipfolio data sources automatically?

Yes. You can tell Cascade to run refreshdatasource on a schedule or after specific code changes. It handles the API call directly.

Q: How does Windsurf handle multiple Klipfolio clients?

The MCP Server provides the listaccountclients tool. Cascade uses this to find the right sub-account before querying any specific dashboard.

Q: What happens when I ask about a specific widget?

Windsurf runs listindividualklips to find the widget, then reads its configuration. You get the exact setup details printed in your chat.

Give Windsurf direct access to your Klipfolio dashboards via this MCP Server and let Cascade update data sources autonomously.

Map your reporting stack with the MCP Server

Using the `list_dashboards` tool lets Cascade read your entire Klipfolio reporting structure. You ask for a summary of active metrics. Windsurf hits the API, finds the relevant boards, and pulls the exact layouts using `get_dashboard_details`. Instead of clicking through web menus, your agent builds a mental map of where your numbers live. It sees the widgets, understands the data flow, and reports back in seconds.

Force updates from the editor

Triggering raw data syncs right from the IDE happens via `refresh_data_source`. Stale metrics ruin reporting cycles. When you notice a discrepancy in a local database, tell Cascade to push an update to the cloud. The agent first runs `list_data_sources` to find the target connection. Then it fires the refresh command. Your charts update instantly without you ever opening a browser tab.

Manage agency sub-accounts

Managing dozens of sub-accounts is simple since `list_account_clients` exposes them all to your AI client. You need to know which client owns a specific chart. Cascade queries the account tree and maps the ownership automatically. Digging deeper requires precision. The `list_individual_klips` tool pulls out single widgets from any client account. You get the exact metric definition handed to you in the editor.
