How to Use the Xata MCP in Windsurf

Q: What if I'm setting up a new database connection using Xata and Windsurf?

You can create the whole setup autonomously. First, createorganization sets up the container account. After that, you use createproject to establish the project space inside it.

Q: Does Windsurf provide details about resource limits when using Xata?

Absolutely. To check what your team is allowed, run getprojectlimits. This tool retrieves specific resource constraints for projects within an organization so you know exactly where you stand.

Q: What sensitive data does the Xata and Windsurf MCP Server touch regarding privacy?

It touches API keys. You can use listorgapikeys or listuserapikeys to view existing organization-scoped API keys, helping you manage who has access.

Windsurf: Manage Database Structure

Cascade handles the heavy lifting when you need to map out your database structure. You can start by calling `list_organizations` to see all accounts you belong to. Then, it checks every project using `list_projects`, giving you a full inventory of what's running.

Windsurf: Key and Access Management

Need to rotate credentials or manage access? The `rotate_branch_credentials` tool triggers an immediate password reset for any branch. Furthermore, Cascade handles API key cleanup; you can bulk delete keys using `delete_user_api_keys` by ID.

Windsurf: Project and Membership Control

Setting up a new team member is simple. Windsurf uses tools like `invite_organization_member` to send invitations via email, or you can use `remove_organization_member` if someone leaves the group. It also lets you update core details with `update_organization`.
