How to Use the Zenkit MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I use Zenkit with Windsurf to list all my available lists?

Use the listworkspaces tool first. This tells you which top-level areas exist, and then follow up with a call like listelements using the workspace ID to see every defined list.

Q: What is the best way to verify list structure using Zenkit with Windsurf?

The listelements tool is exactly what you want. Feed it a workspace and list ID, and it will dump all defined fields—the schema—so you know exactly what data types are allowed.

Perplexity

Map out your entire data graph.

The `list_workspaces` tool lets you see every available workspace, giving you a quick map of what needs to be managed. You can then drill down using `list_entries` or `get_list_details` to check the contents and structure of any specific list within those workspaces. It’s like getting an overview of your entire project database before writing a single line of code. This context is key for Cascade to plan out complex, multi-step actions automatically.

Keep records accurate and up to date.

Need to change something? The `update_entry` tool modifies existing data without you having to pull everything down first. You just feed it the ID and the new values, and Zenkit handles the rest. This capability means your agent doesn't stop when it finds old info; it actually fixes it in place. It’s efficient for keeping structured records consistent across multiple lists.

Build content automatically.

If you need a new record, the `create_entry` tool builds it for you using specific field values you provide. You give it the JSON payload; Zenkit handles the creation and linking. This is perfect when Cascade figures out that three different pieces of data must be combined into one new master entry. It makes building complex records a single, reliable step.

Common questions about Zenkit MCP in Windsurf

Use the `list_workspaces` tool first. This tells you which top-level areas exist, and then follow up with a call like `list_elements` using the workspace ID to see every defined list.

Zenkit manages three core data types: workspaces, lists, and individual entries. All changes—creation, updates, or deletions—affect these structured records within the system.

While there isn't a direct 'check existence' tool, you can run `get_list_details` for the target list. If the details return successfully and include an ID, then that record is live.

It manages a single structured API environment defined by your workspaces and lists within Zenkit. It keeps everything contained for predictable workflow execution.

The `list_elements` tool is exactly what you want. Feed it a workspace and list ID, and it will dump all defined fields—the schema—so you know exactly what data types are allowed.
