Auto-build lists using Windsurf Cascade

The `create_lead_list` tool lets Windsurf build outbound lists directly inside your IDE without manual data entry. Cascade handles the heavy lifting by scanning your workspace files to find target profiles, creating the list, and storing it immediately. You do not need to copy and paste contacts anymore. This MCP Server integration allows Windsurf to run a sequence where it grabs target criteria from your open files and populates your lists in seconds.

Real-time prospect lookup during development

The `enrich_person` tool fetches live prospect data and injects it straight into your active coding session. Windsurf reads your context, identifies missing contact details, and runs this tool to populate your database with verified information. Instead of guessing who to contact, Cascade chains this tool with `enrich_company` to compile complete company profiles. You get actual data like current roles and company size without leaving your editor.

Track hiring signals and job changes

The `find_job_changes` tool scans your target accounts to identify when decision-makers move to new roles. This MCP tool monitors these triggers automatically, allowing you to update your outbound campaigns based on real-time career events. Cascade pairs this search with `get_signals` to detect active buying intent. Your agent can instantly flag high-priority accounts, saving you hours of manual LinkedIn tracking.

Common questions about Persana AI MCP in Windsurf

This MCP Server relies on Vinkius to manage your API keys and rate limits automatically. Windsurf executes calls like `enrich_person` without hitting standard developer blockades.

Yes. You ask Cascade to process a file of domains, and it chains `enrich_company` and `verify_email` to clean your list.

No. Windsurf requires an active connection to the MCP Server to query the live Persana AI database.

Use `verify_email` directly from your prompt. Windsurf runs the check and displays the deliverability status.

Your lead lists and email queries are never stored on Vinkius servers. All data sent via `lookup_email` passes through an encrypted sandbox that deletes the payload immediately after execution.
