How to Use the MarketMan MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf analyze my MarketMan food costs?

Yes. The agent uses listpurchaseorders and listrecipes to calculate your current cost-of-goods-sold. It provides an itemized breakdown of where your money goes each week.

Q: Can I track multiple locations in Windsurf?

You can switch between locations by using getrestaurantinfo. The agent keeps the context of your chosen site throughout the conversation.

Automate inventory tracking with Windsurf

Cascade pulls your current stock levels directly from `list_inventory`. You can ask the agent to identify shortages before the lunch rush starts. It checks `get_count_sheets` to verify if your team finished the morning counts. If the data is missing, the agent flags it immediately.

Streamline procurement through Windsurf

Review recent spending by using `list_purchase_orders` to surface your last thirty days of activity. The agent calculates totals to keep you within your food cost budget. Compare vendor pricing by calling `list_vendors` to find the best market rates. You make decisions based on real numbers, not guesses.

Reduce food waste with Windsurf

Feed `get_waste_events` into your analysis to see exactly what gets tossed. The agent spots trends in spoilage so you can adjust your prep lists. Cross-reference this with `list_recipes` to see if portion sizes are causing the issue. Your kitchen runs tighter when you know what's hitting the trash.
