About Permit.io MCP Server

Connect your Permit.io account to any AI agent to manage your application's authorization layer through natural language. This server allows you to evaluate permissions, manage your authorization schema, and handle user facts without touching code.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Permit.io tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 18 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

What you can do

Policy Evaluation — Instantly check if a user is permitted to perform specific actions on resources using the check_permission tool.
Schema Management — Create resources, define roles, and assign permissions dynamically to build RBAC or ReBAC (Relationship-Based Access Control) structures.
Fact Management — Provision users and tenants directly into your authorization environment to keep your permission data in sync.
AuthZen Compatibility — Use standardized AuthZen evaluation tools for interoperable access control checks.
ReBAC Relations — Define complex relationships between resources to handle hierarchical or ownership-based permissions.

Permit.io + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Permit.io MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
