How to Use the myDevices MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf handle myDevices rate limits during polling?

Cascade spaces out requests when calling getsensordata to avoid hitting Cayenne API limits. If you run a loop, the Windsurf agent manages the interval so your tokens don't get throttled.

Q: Can I trigger physical hardware commands from Windsurf?

Yes, this MCP toolset exposes the sendcommand tool directly to Cascade. You can ask Windsurf to reboot a gateway or toggle a relay, and it executes the payload instantly.

Q: Does the myDevices MCP Server support automated alert triaging in Windsurf?

Cascade can easily run background checks on listalerts and cross-reference those failures with getdevice details. It identifies which physical units need attention before you start coding in Windsurf.

Q: How do I configure this myDevices MCP Server in my Windsurf setup?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Once you hit refresh in the Cascade panel, the eight myDevices telemetry tools are ready to use.

Let Windsurf autonomously monitor telemetry and trigger commands across your myDevices hardware without you babysitting Cascade.

Automate fleet monitoring with Windsurf

Cascade handles the tedious loops of checking your IoT hardware. It starts by running `list_applications` and `list_devices` to map out your entire myDevices fleet, then continuously tracks active hardware without you writing boilerplate scripts. When a sensor goes offline, this MCP Server lets Cascade check `list_sensors` to isolate the physical failure. It doesn't just report the issue; it proactively plans the next steps to get your myDevices telemetry back online.

Run autonomous closed-loop control

You can tell Cascade to keep your server room cool, and it will actually execute the physical steps. It uses `get_sensor_data` to poll temperatures from Cayenne and immediately fires off `send_command` to spin up the fans. Instead of waiting for your input, the Windsurf agent checks `list_alerts` to see if a command failed. It chains these actions together in one execution cycle, turning your myDevices setup into a self-healing network.

Analyze historical trends on the fly

Spotting intermittent myDevices hardware failures requires looking backward. Cascade uses `get_sensor_history` to pull raw data points over time, letting you trace exact failure points without leaving your IDE. It combines this history with immediate stats from `get_device` to determine if a physical sensor is degrading. You get a clear picture of hardware health directly inside your active Windsurf workspace using your MCP client.

Setup guide

Set up myDevices MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the myDevices MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my myDevices payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the myDevices tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
