What is the Hookdeck MCP Server?
Connect your Hookdeck account to any AI agent to orchestrate your webhook infrastructure through natural conversation. Hookdeck provides the reliability layer for your event-driven architecture, and this server puts that power in your chat interface.
What you can do
- Connection Management — List, create, and update connections that route webhooks from sources to destinations.
- Traffic Control — Instantly pause or resume event routing for specific connections to manage maintenance windows or outages.
- Source Monitoring — Retrieve and count your webhook sources to understand where your incoming data originates.
- Lifecycle Operations — Enable or disable connections and manage their rules via JSON payloads without leaving your workflow.
- Deep Inspection — Fetch specific metadata for any connection or source using unique IDs to debug routing issues.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Hookdeck API Key
- Start managing your webhook reliability layer from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Backend Engineers — quickly toggle webhook traffic or check connection statuses during deployments.
- DevOps Teams — monitor the health of event-driven pipelines and manage sources programmatically.
- Integration Specialists — verify routing rules and connection counts across different environments.

Frequently asked questions
How can I temporarily stop webhooks from being delivered to a destination?
You can use the pause_connection tool with the specific Connection ID. This will halt event routing until you call unpause_connection.
Can I see how many active sources I have configured?
Yes, use the count_sources tool to get the total number of sources, or list_sources to see the details of each one.
Is it possible to update connection rules through the AI?
Absolutely. Use the update_connection tool by providing the Connection ID and a JSON body containing the new configuration rules.
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.
