Connect Markdown Task Extractor MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Markdown Task Extractor 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.
Aggregating notes with Windsurf
Cascade uses `extract_markdown_todos` to parse your entire vault in seconds. It looks specifically for standard checkboxes so you don't have to manually flip between files. Once the scan finishes, Windsurf builds a clean list inside your chat panel. You can then ask your agent to prioritize these items or turn them into code tasks.
Linking tasks to your codebase
Your AI client can now see the gap between your planning notes and your actual code. By running `extract_markdown_todos`, you bridge that divide without ever leaving the IDE. It keeps the file path attached to every item. You can click a task and jump straight to the exact line in your Markdown file that needs attention.
Automated workflow management
Windsurf handles the heavy lifting of indexing your local file structure. You just provide the directory path and let the MCP Server do the rest. This setup removes the friction of maintaining separate task lists. Your agent keeps everything synced while you focus on shipping features.
