Perplexity

Windsurf manages order flow

Cascade pulls your live store data into the editor. You can use `list_store_orders` to check pending tasks and `get_order_details` to see exactly what needs moving. It removes the need for manual lookups. When you identify a bottleneck, Cascade uses `update_store_order` to fix issues instantly.

Inventory control for Windsurf

Stop guessing stock levels while coding. You can run `list_inventory_items` to get a real-time view of your warehouse counts. If you need specific details, `get_inventory_item` provides the exact status of any SKU. This MCP Server makes it easy to keep your data accurate.

Automated shipping in Windsurf

Cascade doesn't just read data; it pushes changes. You can trigger `create_order_shipment` as soon as your fulfillment logic confirms an item is ready. It chains `list_order_shipments` to verify the entry exists. This keeps your records clean without you leaving the IDE.
