Automate Student Onboarding

This toolset gives Windsurf's Cascade agent direct control over your Knorish user base. Give it a goal like "Enroll these 50 people in the new course," and it gets to work. Cascade checks for existing accounts with `get_user`, creates new ones with `create_user`, and then enrolls everyone with `enroll_user`. You don't have to prompt each step. It figures out the sequence, executes it, and reports back when it's done. This is how you handle a new cohort without spending your day clicking buttons in an admin panel.

Build a Course Catalog Instantly

Ask Windsurf to give you a rundown of your offerings. Cascade can query the Knorish MCP Server to `list_courses` and `list_bundles`, then follow up with `get_course` for the specifics on each one. It pulls all this information together right in your IDE. You get a complete picture of your school's catalog, including pricing and structure, without ever leaving your editor to go look it up.

Set Up Real-Time Data Syncs

Stop repeatedly checking for updates. Tell Windsurf to set up a real-time connection between Knorish and your other tools. Cascade uses `create_webhook` to build that bridge for you. Now, when a student makes progress or a new user signs up, Knorish sends the data out immediately. You can use `list_webhooks` to see what's active. It's the right way to sync your CRM or community platform without writing polling scripts.

Common questions about Knorish MCP in Windsurf

Windsurf's Cascade agent uses the tools on this MCP server to perform multi-step tasks. You can tell it to enroll a list of users, and it will automatically use `create_user` and `enroll_user` in sequence without you needing to guide it.

Yes. Just ask Windsurf to fetch your course list. Its Cascade agent will use the `list_courses` and `list_bundles` tools to get a full catalog and present it to you inside your IDE.

It's different. A direct integration requires you to handle authentication, write boilerplate code, and manage API keys. This MCP server handles all of that, so you can just tell your agent what to do and it works.

The tools are smart enough to handle that. A good workflow for Windsurf would be to first use `get_user` to check if the user exists. If they don't, it runs `create_user`; if they do, it skips straight to `enroll_user`.

This server only touches data needed for student and course management. That includes user details like names and emails (`get_user`), enrollment status (`enroll_user`), and course progress (`get_student_progress`). Your data is processed in an ephemeral, zero-trust environment and is never stored by Vinkius.
