About Lattice MCP Server
Connect your AI agent directly to Lattice HR. With this server, your LLM can fetch detailed employee profiles, active OKRs, tasks, and search continuous feedback loops directly tied to the Lattice platform.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Lattice tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 9 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Employee Directory: Fetch user metadata directly from your HRIS via Lattice.
- Goal Tracking: Query active company or individual OKRs and assess progress.
- Feedback & Praise: Monitor continuous feedback loops and recognition events.
- Review Cycles: Check past and current performance review structural data.
The Lattice MCP Server exposes 9 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Lattice MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Lattice through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 9 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Lattice + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Lattice MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Lattice and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Lattice tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Lattice and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Lattice data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
