How to Use the Zoho Inventory MCP in Windsurf

Q: Does Zoho Inventory support viewing multiple organizations with Windsurf?

Yes. To start, you run listorganizations to identify all available organization IDs. You can then use these IDs in subsequent calls like listing purchase orders.

Q: If I need a list of all items and bundles, what should I do with Zoho Inventory and Windsurf?

Windsurf handles this by executing two distinct functions: listinventoryitems for raw goods, and then listcompositeitems to get the bundle details. It combines both result sets.

Perplexity

Manage Item Details and Stock Levels

Need to know what stock you have? Instead of manually checking item by item, Windsurf runs a multi-step sequence for you. It first uses `list_inventory_items` to get the full catalog, then drills down with `get_item_details` when it hits an item needing specific checks.

Create and Validate Sales Orders

You just tell Windsurf, 'Make a sale for Customer X.' It autonomously handles calling `create_sales_order` using the correct JSON body. Then, it confirms the record exists by querying `get_sales_order_details`, giving you immediate validation.

Reviewing Multiple Transaction Records

Need a full picture of what's coming in or going out? Windsurf calls both `list_purchase_orders` and `list_sales_orders`. This lets your agent gather all necessary transaction data without you having to prompt for each list separately.
