How Vinkius secures
GroundX for Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf to the GroundX MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I query my indexed documents?
Simply ask the AI agent to search for a specific term or concept, and it will query the GroundX API to retrieve the most relevant textual chunks.
Can I manage data buckets from the agent?
Yes, you can list your active buckets, check their document count, and verify index status.
Does it support adding new files to a bucket?
Currently, the integration focuses on querying the optimized indexes. File ingestion should be managed through the GroundX dashboard or a separate pipeline.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
