Automated Live Event Control in Windsurf

Cascade handles the full lifecycle of your broadcasts by linking `create_event` with `start_event` in a single flow. It detects your event parameters and pushes them directly to the infrastructure without you touching a dashboard. This MCP Server removes the need for manual status checks. Cascade monitors the transition states, ensuring your event is live exactly when you expect it to be.

Rapid Asset Management for Windsurf

Manage your VOD library by allowing the agent to execute `list_assets` and `update_asset` based on your project requirements. You define the metadata changes, and the agent applies them across your entire catalog immediately. It handles deletions via `delete_asset` as well, keeping your storage clean without manual cleanup scripts. You stay focused on the code while the agent handles the heavy lifting.

Real-time Streaming Diagnostics in Windsurf

Debugging playback issues happens instantly when you let the agent fetch `get_hls_manifest` and `get_dash_manifest` data. It pulls the current manifest structure to verify your encoding settings are correct for your player. This visibility into your stream health prevents long downtime cycles. Cascade pulls the data, parses it, and gives you the exact line where the manifest configuration might be failing.
