Perplexity

Windsurf agent reads post data

Cascade uses `get_post` and `get_post_comments` to ingest entire discussions without leaving your editor. It parses the thread structure so you can see exactly what people are debating. This keeps your codebase aligned with current community sentiment. You stop guessing trends and start building against live feedback.

Search subreddits from Windsurf

Trigger `search_subreddit` to pinpoint technical solutions or feature requests buried in specific communities. The agent scans the results and summarizes the most relevant discussions for you. Stop wasting time with browser tabs. Your agent finds the signal in the noise while you stay focused on your terminal.

Trend tracking for Windsurf

Run `list_popular_posts` to keep your project updated on what's moving on the front page. Cascade monitors these shifts to help you pivot your roadmap based on actual user activity. It handles the heavy lifting of data collection. You get the insights delivered right where you write code.

Setup guide

Set up Reddit MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Reddit MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Reddit payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Reddit tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
