How to Use the Lancerkit MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf update my Lancerkit invoices automatically?

Cascade uses getinvoice and listinvoices to read your billing pipeline inside the editor. While it can fetch and organize this data to draft updates, you retain control over final financial changes. This prevents automated billing mistakes while saving you manual lookup time.

Q: Which Lancerkit tools are exposed to Windsurf?

The integration exposes ten distinct MCP tools including gettimelogs and listprojects. Cascade chains these tools to analyze your billable hours against active projects. This gives your agent complete visibility into your workspace metrics.

Q: How do I verify the server connection status?

You run the getstatus tool through the Cascade interface. This returns the current connection state of your workspace integration. If the connection drops, Cascade will flag the error in the output panel.

Cascade chains Lancerkit tools to run your freelance business, pull invoices, and track projects inside Windsurf without manual steps.

Automate invoice tracking with Windsurf Cascade

Cascade handles the heavy lifting by chaining your goals together. Say you need to hunt down unpaid bills. This MCP integration triggers `list_invoices` to grab the whole pipeline, then hits `get_invoice` on the late ones. You don't have to nudge the agent at every step. This keeps your focus on actual code instead of digging through billing systems. Windsurf prints the precise state of your workspace finances right inside your editor panel, mapping active files to real-time payments.

Sync active tasks to your Lancerkit workspace

Your active coding context is now wired directly to your billing system. Cascade scans your open files, figures out what you're working on, and runs `list_tasks` to match your progress with logged assignments. If something is missing, the agent flags it so you can fix your records before logging off. You get a live view of your project status without jumping to a browser. By matching `get_project` against your file tree, Windsurf maps local branches to actual client deliverables automatically.

Windsurf MCP Server integration for client lookups

Running client lookups during a coding session is usually a pain. This Windsurf MCP Server integration lets Cascade query profiles instantly using `list_clients` to find the right contact. The agent then executes `get_client` to pull down the metadata for that account. It handles the boring CRM searches while you stay in the zone. You can have Cascade draft a quick update email to the client using that fresh metadata without leaving your workspace.
