Match tracks and fetch lyrics in one Cascade run

`match_track_lyrics` identifies the exact song you need based on whatever lyrics or artist name you feed it. Cascade takes that result and immediately calls `get_track_lyrics` to pull the full text without waiting for your next prompt. You specify the target, and the agent handles the multi-step lookup in the background. Your local files get updated with the exact song data in seconds.

Build dynamic charts using the Windsurf MCP Server

`get_top_tracks` returns the current music charts directly to your workspace. Cascade reads this list, pulls metadata for each track using `get_track_details`, and builds a structured file of trending songs. Instead of running separate queries, you give Cascade a single instruction to generate a trending list. The editor updates instantly while you focus on the layout.

Map out entire artist profiles automatically

`search_artists` locates the exact performer record you need from the database. Cascade then uses `get_artist_albums` and `get_artist_details` to map out their entire discography and background info. This autonomous MCP execution model means you don't copy-paste IDs between different terminal runs. Your agent gathers the raw data and structures it into clean markdown profiles or database entries.
