Automated link analysis in Windsurf

Cascade pulls raw backlink data directly into your workspace. It uses `list_linking_domains` and `fetch_link_intersect` to map out exactly where your competitors are getting their authority. Stop digging through browser tabs. You just tell Cascade what you need, and it runs the sequence to pull the relevant metrics into your current project context.

Bulk metric lookups for SEO agents

Windsurf handles high-volume tasks by chaining `v2_url_metrics` across large lists of URLs. It parses the API response and presents the findings in a format you can actually use for reporting. This MCP Server removes the manual effort of copy-pasting data. You get the stats, and your agent builds the strategy right there in your editor.

Real-time authority tracking

Monitor your site performance with `fetch_site_metrics` and `fetch_brand_authority` inside your active coding session. It keeps your SEO benchmarks visible while you write content or refactor code. Cascade stays updated with the latest index data. Whenever you need to check if a specific link exists, it hits `v2_link_status` and confirms the status instantly.
