About Unanet MCP Server
The Unanet MCP Server connects AI agents to the Unanet project management and ERP suite. It enables agents to read timesheets, view expense reports, query project statuses, and list organizational workforce data, streamlining compliance and operational efficiency.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Unanet tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 4 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
The Unanet MCP Server exposes 4 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.
