Connect MainWP MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect MainWP to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Full network visibility in Windsurf
Stop jumping between browser tabs to check site health. Cascade pulls your site list instantly using `list_child_sites` so you know exactly what you are dealing with before writing a single line of code. Once you have the list, use `list_site_plugins` to see what is running on each site. Windsurf keeps this data in context, letting you compare versions across the network without manual lookups.
Automated update cycles
Don't let outdated plugins pile up. Run `get_pending_updates_count` to get the raw numbers, then use `list_available_updates` to identify specific risks across your managed sites. Cascade can chain these tools to prepare your environment. When you're ready to patch, `upgrade_site_resource` handles the deployment while you watch the logs.
Proactive security scanning
Trigger `scan_network_malware` directly from your editor to catch threats before they become support tickets. Windsurf displays the results immediately, giving you a clear view of your security posture. Follow up by running `scan_network_vulnerabilities` to find exposed plugins. It's the fastest way to harden your sites without leaving your IDE workflow.
