Run full lead list generation via MCP Server

The `search_companies` tool finds initial company records based on criteria. Cascade then uses that output to call `enrich_company`, pulling in detailed data like employee counts or revenue figures. This chain lets you build a complete prospect list simply by setting the goal, skipping manual steps. You get fully enriched company profiles without ever leaving your IDE.

Gather targeted intelligence with Windsurf

Need to know what companies are talking about? Start by calling `search_intent` to identify relevant topics. Next, Cascade uses the resulting intent data to run `list_intent_topics`, giving you a structured view of industry discussions. It’s perfect for research: find out which markets matter right now and what signals point toward high-value opportunities.

Build detailed contact profiles with MCP Server

Start by running `search_contacts` to pull a list of names. Then, you can feed those records into the `enrich_contact` tool for deep background data. This process gives you much more than just an email address. Your agent figures out which contacts are key players and provides rich detail on each one automatically.
