About Scale AI MCP Server
Connect your Scale AI account to any AI agent to orchestrate large-scale data labeling and fine-tuning pipelines through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Scale AI tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 11 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Project Management — Create and configure projects for specific labeling types like image annotation or semantic segmentation.
- Batch Operations — Organize high-volume work into batches and finalize them to trigger the labeling process.
- Multi-Modal Tasks — Submit tasks for Image Annotation, Semantic Segmentation, and Video Playback directly via API.
- Task Lifecycle — Retrieve detailed status of individual tasks or cancel pending ones to manage your budget and throughput.
- Parameter Tuning — Update project-level instructions and parameters dynamically to refine labeling quality.
The Scale AI MCP Server exposes 11 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Scale AI MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Scale AI through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows. Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 11 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Scale AI + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Scale AI MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Scale AI and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Scale AI tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Scale AI and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Scale AI data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Example Prompts for Scale AI in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with Scale AI immediately.
"Create a new image annotation project called 'Lidar-Obstacles' for imageannotation."
"Submit an image annotation task to project 'Lidar-Obstacles' with the image URL 'https://example.com/car.jpg'."
"Finalize the batch named 'sprint-01-batch'."

Scale AI + Windsurf FAQ
Common questions about integrating Scale AI MCP Server with Windsurf.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
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?
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.Explore More MCP Servers
