Run autonomous maintenance workflows in Windsurf

Cascade uses `list_maintenance_orders` to scan for overdue items and immediately chains actions to fix them. It reads the open tickets, identifies which physical assets are failing, and prepares the updates without waiting for you to type another prompt. Once the agent spots a blocked ticket, it calls `get_asset_details` to pull the exact model and location. You get a complete picture of the broken hardware before you even ask for it.

Auto-assign tickets using live team data

This MCP Server lets Cascade call `list_team_members` to find available technicians when a critical issue hits the queue. The agent matches the technician's schedule with the location of the broken machine. After selecting the right technician, Cascade runs `create_new_work_order` to dispatch them. It cuts down the back-and-forth because the agent handles the assignment logic in one continuous run.

Update equipment status on the fly

You can modify active tickets by letting Cascade execute `update_work_order_status` using this MCP configuration. The agent tracks your code changes or chat inputs and updates MaintainX instantly. If a repair script passes its tests, Cascade marks the associated ticket as done. It links your physical operations directly to your development environment.
