Automatic Ko-fi transaction logging in Windsurf
Cascade pulls your latest donations, shop orders, and subscriptions using the `list_transactions` tool. It reads the raw JSON output and turns it into a human-readable list of recent activity without you lifting a finger. Since Windsurf chains actions, you can tell your agent to generate a monthly summary or format the data for your accounting software. It handles the data extraction while you keep coding.
Query your Ko-fi history within the MCP Server
The `list_transactions` tool acts as a bridge between your Ko-fi account and your active project files. You can ask your agent to find specific donor names or check order values without opening a browser. Everything stays inside your IDE context. This setup keeps your workflow focused by bringing real-world financial data directly into your current workspace.
Build custom dashboards with Ko-fi data
Use your agent to map the output of `list_transactions` into charts or tables for your personal dashboard. Cascade executes the code needed to render this data in your preview window. This MCP Server provides the raw input needed for your tracking scripts. You define the logic, and the agent processes the transaction feed to build your custom finance view.
