Can the agent calculate walking paths across multiple floors?

Yes. When triggering `calculate_path` supplied with explicit coordinate pairings spanning different Level UUIDs, the Pointr engine bridges the wayfinding automatically. It factors in fixed transitions like elevators or stairs natively, feeding the Agent the comprehensive turn-by-turn array in JSON format seamlessly.

Is it possible to extract the giant raw map shapes for a given floor?

Absolutely. By initiating the query `get_level_map` tied securely to a single level UUID, the interface processes and downloads massive explicit geometries mapping out physical walls, traversable space nodes, and internal partitions explicitly generated by the Pointr pipeline.

Can I search for specific stores or bathrooms using text queries?

Yes. Pointr exposes dense fuzzy logic matching indexes. When the Agent executes `search_pois` feeding a literal keyword alongside the Target Building ID, it reliably unearths precisely mapped nodes conforming to 'Restroom', 'Exit', or custom store names embedded dynamically.

About Pointr MCP Server

Bring deep indoor location intelligence directly to your AI operations using the Pointr network. This MCP integration securely bridges your LLM to complex structural databases plotting multi-floor layouts, indoor geo-fencing, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon networks. Instead of navigating complicated dashboards to audit facility paths, simply instruct your local Agent to parse physical building parameters perfectly.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Pointr tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

What you can do

Facility Exploration — Understand global deployments natively. Run list_buildings and list_levels to mathematically visualize vertical architectures and floor limits.
Precision Wayfinding — Query active Point of Interest objects. The agent leverages search_pois to find specific gates/stores, and dynamically invokes calculate_path predicting multi-floor walking paths avoiding structural walls.
Infrastructure Auditing — Ask the AI to evaluate BLE hardware mesh footprints using the list_beacons utility, verifying precisely where physical network sensors reside inside map geometries.
Geo-Fence Parsing — Interrogate proactive indoor trigger zones. list_geofences brings back complex logical polygons mapping where local alerts fire globally.

The Pointr MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Pointr + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Pointr 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.
