Autonomous research for Windsurf

Cascade doesn't just wait for your input. It uses `search_web` to hunt down documentation or live data, choosing between fast or deep modes depending on the complexity of your request. Once the agent identifies a target, it chains the next action immediately. You set the goal, and it pulls the necessary context into your current task.

Clean data extraction for your agent

Stop wrestling with broken HTML or bot-blocked sites. This MCP Server uses `fetch_url` to bypass complex SPA JavaScript loops, delivering only the text you actually need. Your agent gets a clean, readable stream of information every time. It saves you from manual parsing and lets you focus on writing the actual code.

Direct integration with Windsurf

Connect this server in your MCP settings and watch Cascade auto-discover the tools. It integrates natively, appearing as a standard extension of your local environment. Because it runs as a managed MCP process, your agent handles the connection state for you. Just add the configuration and start your research.
