Connect Meltwater MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Meltwater 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.
Automated media monitoring in Windsurf
Cascade doesn't just read your docs; it hooks directly into your Meltwater account. You tell it to track a brand, and it uses `search_content` to pull raw mentions without you leaving the editor. It handles the heavy lifting of gathering data. Once the mentions are in, Cascade formats the output so you can actually read it instead of staring at raw JSON.
Real-time search and analytics
Stop jumping between your browser and your IDE. Use `get_search_analytics` to pull volume spikes or sentiment trends right where you write your code. Windsurf chains these actions automatically. It gathers the search results, runs the analytics, and presents the findings in your workspace.
Manage content exports within Windsurf
Access your saved exports without manual downloads. The `list_content_exports` tool lets you grab your latest reports and move them into your project files instantly. You keep the data flow local. Cascade updates your project state as soon as the export hits the server.
