How to Use the Nimbleway MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I install the Nimbleway MCP server in Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers block. You can also use the Cascade settings UI to add it, then hit refresh.

Q: Can Windsurf and Nimbleway run automated web searches?

Yes. Cascade calls searchweb to find relevant URLs based on your prompt. It then processes those search results to determine which pages to scrape next.

Q: How does Nimbleway handle scraping limits in Windsurf?

Your agent checks getaccountusage to monitor bandwidth. If you hit a limit, Windsurf reads the error response and stops execution.

Give Windsurf direct access to web scraping pipelines and search data with the Nimbleway MCP server.

Perplexity

Autonomous scraping directly inside Windsurf

The `search_web` tool lets Cascade query live search engines and parse structured results without leaving your editor. When you ask Windsurf to research a technical topic, it automatically pulls the latest documentation links. Once it finds the right targets, Cascade fires off `extract_markdown` or `extract_html` to pull the raw content. It reads the scraped data, understands the context, and writes the code you need based on current web sources rather than outdated training sets.

Manage Nimbleway pipelines via MCP Server

The `list_pipelines` and `get_pipeline` tools expose your configured scraping workflows directly to your MCP client. You don't have to switch to a browser to check if a specific data extraction route is active. Cascade can monitor execution states using `list_jobs` and `get_job`. If a scraping task fails or hangs, Windsurf sees the exact status and can either retry the command or alert you to the bottleneck.

Track bandwidth and proxy health

The `get_account_usage` tool pulls your current bandwidth consumption and request limits into the workspace. Cascade checks this before launching massive scraping runs to prevent unexpected API throttling. You also get visibility into your routing setup through `list_proxies` and `get_me`. Windsurf verifies your proxy configurations match the target sites' geographic requirements before initializing the data grab.
