Perplexity

Instantly spin up virtual cards in Windsurf

The `create_card` tool lets Cascade generate single-use or subscription-specific virtual cards directly inside your Windsurf IDE. When your code needs a new service credential, Windsurf reads the budget requirements and issues the NachoNacho card automatically. You get immediate feedback on NachoNacho limits and card details directly in your Windsurf workspace. Cascade then updates your local configuration files with the new payment details, ensuring your codebase runs with active, funded credentials right away.

Windsurf tracks SaaS limits automatically

The `list_balances` tool exposes real-time funding limits to Cascade during your Windsurf development runs. This MCP Server integration ensures your workspace stays within budget limits. By calling `list_subscriptions` alongside card limits, Cascade maps out your active NachoNacho footprint. You see exactly where money goes without leaving the Windsurf file editor.

Freeze compromised cards using this MCP Server

The `freeze_card` tool allows Cascade to disable a NachoNacho payment method instantly if a Windsurf test run exposes a private key. You do not have to log into a browser dashboard to stop a runaway billing event. If you resolve the leak, Cascade uses `unfreeze_card` to restore the NachoNacho payment pipeline. This keeps your Windsurf development environment secure without requiring manual intervention from your finance team.
