Full site data extraction for Windsurf

Cascade pulls clean metadata from any URL using `extract_metadata`. It handles the scraping so you can focus on building your features. Stop writing custom scrapers for every site. Use `advanced_query` to get exactly the data fields you need in one go.

Visual capture and PDF tools

Capture the state of any web page with `take_screenshot`. Cascade can trigger this after every deployment to track UI regressions. Need documentation or reports? Use `generate_pdf` to turn live pages into formatted files instantly. It respects your margins and scaling settings without manual tweaks.

Web performance auditing

Run `get_insights` to identify why a page is dragging. Cascade analyzes the tech stack and loading metrics for you. This MCP Server provides the raw data your agent needs to optimize your frontend. It's faster than running manual audits in a browser tab.

Common questions about Microlink MCP in Windsurf

Open your Windsurf settings and go to the Cascade MCP panel. You can add the server configuration directly there or use the built-in marketplace for a one-click install.

Yes, Cascade handles the multi-tool chain autonomously. You define the goal, and the agent sequences the required calls to get the result.

It does. You just ask Cascade to extract metadata from a link. It uses the underlying tools to fetch and parse the data for you.

You provide your endpoint token during the initial configuration. The Vinkius environment keeps that data isolated.

The server only touches the public web content you request via URL. Your API credentials and requests are handled via a secure, zero-trust tunnel.
