How to Use the MakePlans MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf book appointments through MakePlans automatically?

Cascade uses the createbooking tool to schedule appointments directly. You just provide the desired time and service in your prompt. The agent handles the necessary API requests in the background.

Q: Why isn't Windsurf seeing my MakePlans staff list?

Your agent needs permission to access the listpeople endpoint. Check that your connection token is valid and hit the refresh button in the server panel. Cascade will reload the available schemas immediately.

Connect MakePlans to Windsurf so Cascade can autonomously query availability and book appointments right from your editor.

Chain operations with the MCP Server

The MakePlans MCP Server gives your agent direct access to `list_available_slots` and `create_booking` so it can handle scheduling loops without interrupting you. When you tell Cascade to find an opening next Tuesday for a 30-minute consultation, it checks the calendar data immediately. You don't have to switch tabs to verify availability. Cascade reads your current workspace context and pairs it with the scheduling endpoints. If you are building a custom reminder script, the agent pulls the exact payload format from `get_booking` and writes the integration code for you. It handles the back-and-forth API requests autonomously.

Map resources to your codebase

Your Windsurf agent uses `list_services` and `list_resources` to pull live clinic or office configurations directly into your local environment. Asking Cascade to mock up a booking dashboard means it fetches the actual room names and service types instead of generating fake placeholder data. The agent builds React components using real IDs. Changes happen fast when the IDE knows your backend state. Cascade can call `list_people` to populate staff dropdowns in the UI you are actively designing. You set the goal, and the agent executes the data-fetching steps required to make it work.

Manage cancellations and schedules

Calling `delete_booking` allows Windsurf to clear out test appointments after running automated integration tests. You write a prompt asking to clean up the staging calendar, and Cascade targets the exact records. The agent confirms the deletion in the chat panel. Keeping track of the day's schedule takes one command. You can ask for a quick summary, prompting the agent to fire `list_bookings` and format the output into a clean markdown table. It turns your code editor into a command center for your entire booking operation.
