Connect Yida MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Yida to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Manage forms and records via Yida MCP Server.
You can create new form records using the `create_record` tool. Cascade handles the full cycle—you set a goal, and it executes the necessary steps to get that data into your workflow. Need to change existing information? Use `update_record`. This lets Windsurf write back to Yida's system after gathering all the required details.
Understand application structure with Yida MCP Server.
Start by seeing what forms are available across the whole app using `list_forms`. If you need to check specific data, the `get_form_schema` tool provides the exact field types and required inputs. Beyond forms, Cascade can list all active workflows (`list_workflows`) or even find out who's using the platform with `list_users`.
Track data changes and instances in Yida MCP Server.
When something happens inside Yida, you need to know when. The `get_instance_timeline` tool pulls a full history of the workflow instance. This gives context on how far along an approval process is. If you only have a piece of data, use `get_record_details` or `list_data_ids`. These tools pull specific records and allow Windsurf to build its next action around that confirmed data.
