Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect NVIDIA API Catalog MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect NVIDIA API Catalog to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Execute model inference in Windsurf
Cascade pulls foundation models directly from the catalog to run completions. You trigger `nvidia_chat_completion` to process logic without leaving the IDE. Windsurf chains these calls to handle complex reasoning. It feeds the output into your active files so you see the code changes as they happen.
Monitor NVIDIA API Catalog status
Keep tabs on your usage limits and system health within your editor. You use `nvidia_check_token_quota` to prevent unexpected budget spikes during long sessions. `nvidia_get_cloud_status` pings the endpoints so you know the service is up before Cascade starts a multi-step task. It removes the guesswork from your workflow.
Run vision and summarization tools
Feed graphical data into your agent using `nvidia_vision_inference` to analyze UI mockups or diagrams. It processes the visual input and returns structured data for your project. Use `nvidia_summarize_content` when you need to condense large files or logs quickly. Windsurf pipes the results into your context window for immediate review.
