How to Use the RenderMe MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I trigger a RenderMe video render inside Windsurf?

Tell Cascade which template you want to use. It runs listvideotemplates to find the ID, grabs the required parameters with gettemplatedetails, and executes createvideorenderjob automatically.

Q: Where do I configure the RenderMe MCP Server in Windsurf?

Open your user configuration file at /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json. Add the server details under the mcpServers key and refresh the MCP panel.

Q: How do I check my remaining rendering credits?

Ask your agent to run getaccountrenderstats. It returns your current usage metrics directly in your chat panel so you know exactly where your account stands.

Automated video generation chains in Windsurf

Your agent uses `list_video_templates` to instantly pull your active layouts, meaning Cascade doesn't make you prompt every single step of a video build. You tell it what you want, and it finds the exact match without manual navigation. Once it has the layout structure, Cascade fires off `create_video_render_job` to start the render process. It keeps an eye on the progress in the background by calling `get_render_job_status` until the file is ready. You get a finished video asset without ever touching a timeline.

Deep asset resolution and folder mapping

This MCP integration uses `list_asset_folders` to scan your storage organization and match files to template placeholders instantly. It stops you from wasting time searching for where your media files live. If a file is missing, the agent flags it immediately. It doesn't guess or try to render empty containers. This keeps your render queue clean and stops you from burning through your account limits on broken files.

Real-time production monitoring

Your agent checks `list_configured_webhooks` to inspect where your build notifications are going, keeping track of your rendering pipeline without requiring a browser dashboard. It keeps your external notification channels in sync with your active rendering jobs. You can also check on your current consumption limits using `get_account_render_stats`. The agent pulls your real-time usage data directly into your editor, letting you monitor your rendering budget before kicking off massive batch jobs.
