How to Use the Openli MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I install the Openli MCP server in Windsurf?

Open your mcpconfig.json file in /.codeium/windsurf/ or use the Settings UI under Cascade. Add the server details and hit Refresh in the MCP panel.

Q: Can Windsurf read my active Openli agreements?

Yes. Cascade calls getagreement to pull the exact text of your privacy policies. It uses this context to ensure your frontend forms match your legal requirements.

Q: What happens if the Openli API goes down?

Windsurf can verify connectivity instantly. Cascade runs checkopenlistatus before attempting to create agreements or log consent, preventing silent failures during development.

Turn Windsurf into a compliance engine. Cascade handles DSARs, tracks consent, and writes agreements while you code.

Draft agreements directly in Windsurf

You don't want to leave your editor to update an Openli privacy policy. Tell Cascade what changed in your data model. It reads your backend code, figures out the new data collection points, and fires off `create_agreement` to generate the exact legal document you need. It doesn't stop at generation. Cascade pulls the current active policies using `list_agreements` to compare versions. If a new third-party API requires an update, your agent spots it and drafts the revision immediately.

Automate consent tracking via MCP Server

Building a cookie banner means you have to log user consent into Openli. You can ask Windsurf to implement the frontend component, and Cascade will automatically wire it up to the server using the `save_consent` tool. When you need to verify if a user agreed to a specific policy, Cascade just runs `get_consent`. It pulls the exact timestamp and policy version straight into your IDE, saving you a trip to a compliance dashboard.

Resolve data subject requests fast

Handling an Openli Data Subject Access Request usually ruins an afternoon. With this integration, you just tell Cascade a user asked for their data. It runs `create_dsar` to open the ticket and uses `list_vendors` to see exactly where that user's data lives. Cascade chains these actions together. It checks `list_audit_logs` to verify the request history, builds a summary of the user's footprint, and prepares the deletion script. You just review the output.

Common questions about Openli MCP in Windsurf

Open your `mcp_config.json` file in `~/.codeium/windsurf/` or use the Settings UI under Cascade. Add the server details and hit Refresh in the MCP panel.

Yes. Cascade calls `get_agreement` to pull the exact text of your privacy policies. It uses this context to ensure your frontend forms match your legal requirements.

It does. Cascade auto-discovers the 13 available tools upon connection. It can chain them, like running `list_dsars` and then fetching details for each with `get_dsar`.

Windsurf can verify connectivity instantly. Cascade runs `check_openli_status` before attempting to create agreements or log consent, preventing silent failures during development.

This server processes raw consent logs, including user identifiers and agreement timestamps. The MCP protocol enforces strict local isolation, meaning your agent only accesses the specific consent records it explicitly requests via `get_consent`, keeping the rest of your compliance database firewalled.
