How to Use the KnoCommerce MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use KnoCommerce to find attribution data?

You give Windsurf's Cascade agent a goal, and it uses the getchannelattributionreport tool from the KnoCommerce server to pull the data. Cascade handles the steps, you just see the result.

Q: What's the fastest way to list survey responses with KnoCommerce and Windsurf?

Just ask Cascade to "list responses for the survey name survey." It will find the survey ID with listsurveys and then fetch the data with listsurveyresponses automatically.

Q: Can Cascade from Windsurf check if the KnoCommerce API is down?

Yes. Ask it to check the API status. It will run the checkknocommerceapistatus tool and tell you if the connection is healthy or not.

Connect Windsurf to KnoCommerce and let Cascade figure out which marketing channels actually work. No more manual data pulls.

Find Your Best Marketing Channels

This tool gets you the channel attribution data locked inside KnoCommerce. Instead of pulling it yourself, just tell Windsurf's Cascade agent what you need. For example: "Find my top acquisition channel from the holiday survey." Cascade gets to work. It uses `list_surveys` to find the right survey ID, then calls `get_channel_attribution_report` to get the numbers. You just get the answer. That's how a good MCP server is supposed to work.

Audit Customer Feedback Automatically

You can ask Cascade to perform multi-step research. Give it a goal like, "Show me the latest feedback from our top five customers." It's smart enough to chain the tools together to get it done. First, it runs `list_knocommerce_customers` to identify the right people. Then, it loops through them, using `get_customer_feedback_profile` and `list_survey_responses` to pull their specific comments. It presents a summary without you having to prompt each step.

Check Survey Health with this MCP Server

Before you dive into analysis, you need to know if the data source is even online. Cascade can run a quick diagnostic for you. Just ask it to check on the KnoCommerce integration. It will use `check_knocommerce_api_status` to confirm the connection is live. Then it can run `list_surveys` and `get_survey_details` on active campaigns to make sure everything looks right. It's a simple way to verify your setup is solid.
