How to Use the WorkOS MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can I use the MCP Server with WorkOS for user listing in Windsurf?

Absolutely. You can list all synced users using listdirectoryusers and then check organizational details with getorganizationdetails. This lets your agent build out a comprehensive directory map.

Q: What happens if I need to add a new WorkOS organization?

You use the createworkosorganization tool, providing the required name and authorized domains. The MCP Server then writes that new organizational record into your account.

Manage Directory Sync Status

Windsurf autonomously figures out your organization's structure. You can start by listing all active sync instances using `list_directories`. Then, Cascade reads the context and executes `get_directory_details` on a specific ID, giving you metadata for that directory. This capability is great for audit chains. If you need to check which groups are synced, Windsurf runs `list_directory_groups`, ensuring your agent knows exactly what data it's working with before proceeding.

Audit Organizational Changes

Need a full picture of organizational setup? First, Cascade retrieves the high-level details using `get_organization_details`. After that, you can check all active SSO connections via `list_sso_connections` to see what's connected. Finally, if you suspect unauthorized changes, Windsurf calls `get_audit_log_events`, providing a stream of activity tracked against the organization record.

List and Verify User Data

Start by getting an inventory of every user. The tool `list_directory_users` pulls all synced users from a directory. If you want to know what groups those users belong to, Windsurf chains the next step: running `list_directory_groups`. This combination lets your agent build a full user profile map. You'll see who is in which group and which organization they fall under.
