How to Use the LinearB MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf use LinearB to report incidents automatically?

Yes. You can instruct Cascade to run recordnewincident whenever a test fails or a production issue occurs. It handles the API call so you can focus on the fix.

Q: Does this support multi-team metrics?

Yes, you use listengineeringteams to fetch specific groups. You then filter those results through your metrics query to isolate performance data.

Q: How do I ensure my deployment logs are accurate?

Use listsoftwaredeployments to check existing records before you push new ones. This prevents duplicate entries and keeps your history clean.

Use the LinearB MCP Server in Windsurf to turn raw deployment data into clear engineering insights without leaving your IDE.

Perplexity

Automate deployment and incident tracking

Cascade doesn't just read data; it pushes status updates directly to your dashboard. Use `record_new_deployment` or `record_new_incident` the moment a change hits production. You stop manually logging events. When your pipeline finishes, Windsurf triggers the tool to keep your metrics accurate and your team informed.

Query DORA metrics in Windsurf

Stop guessing why your cycle time is slipping. Use `query_software_metrics` to pull live data on your team's throughput and delivery speed. Windsurf processes the JSON output, showing you exactly where the bottlenecks sit. You identify the delay and fix the process before the next sprint.

Audit team activity and repository health

Get a full view of your organization by using `list_engineering_teams` and `list_connected_repos`. It maps out who owns what across your entire infrastructure. This visibility helps Cascade understand the scope of your current project. You see which teams are active and which repositories need attention without switching browser tabs.
