Chain Mela tools in Windsurf

Cascade reads your instructions and strings together the necessary operations to keep your project data current. It triggers `log_work_hours` and `log_materials` in one go. You don't need to babysit the process. Cascade fetches the required activity IDs and confirms the updates, keeping your site records accurate without manual clicking.

Automate site updates with this MCP Server

Windsurf connects to this MCP Server to pull real-time data from your job sites. Use `get_activity` to feed context directly into your codebase. Everything stays in sync. When you modify code, the agent pushes the relevant notes back to the feed using `post_message`.

Direct project management access

Manage your workspace members and teams without leaving the editor. Cascade uses `list_users` and `list_teams` to identify who is assigned to specific tasks. Need to reassign work? The agent handles the status changes via `update_activity_status` based on your project requirements.
