How to Use the OpenPanel MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure OpenPanel inside Windsurf?

Open your config file at /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json and add the server setup under the mcpServers key. Once you hit refresh in the Cascade panel, the agent discovers the tracking tools.

Let Cascade auto-track user events and update profiles in OpenPanel while you write code in Windsurf.

Automate user tracking with Cascade

`track_event` lets your AI agent log telemetry to OpenPanel without you writing a single line of tracking code. Cascade watches your application state, catches user interactions, and sends the event payload directly to your analytics dashboard. You don't have to prompt it for every single button click. Cascade plans the tracking logic, drafts the payload structure, and fires the telemetry. If you change a button's CSS class, the agent updates the event properties to match the new layout automatically.

Keep user profiles current via Windsurf MCP Server

`identify_user` links anonymous sessions to actual user accounts in your OpenPanel database. This MCP server handles the user mapping in the background while you focus on building features. Cascade runs this tool whenever it detects a login or signup flow in your workspace code. Managing user state this way cuts out the manual API calls you usually have to write. Your agent reads the local user model, extracts the traits, and updates OpenPanel in one clean operation.

Update numeric traits on the fly

`increment_property` modifies user profile counters in OpenPanel to keep track of feature usage. When Cascade notices a user performing an action like uploading a file, it triggers the update immediately. There is no need to write custom increment logic in your backend files. You can also use `decrement_property` to scale back usage limits when a subscription changes or a resource is deleted. The agent keeps your user metrics accurate by adjusting these values in real-time based on live database changes.

Setup guide

Set up OpenPanel MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the OpenPanel MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my OpenPanel payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the OpenPanel tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about OpenPanel MCP in Windsurf

Open your config file at ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and add the server setup under the mcpServers key. Once you hit refresh in the Cascade panel, the agent discovers the tracking tools.

Yes, Cascade identifies tracking opportunities in your codebase and executes them. It triggers the event logging tools based on the context of the files you are editing.

Not at all. Vinkius runs this MCP server in an isolated sandbox, keeping all API calls off your local machine's processor. Your editor stays fast.

You tell your agent to update a user's profile, and it calls the identity tool. The agent handles the JSON structure for you.

Vinkius processes all event payloads and user traits through an ephemeral sandbox. No database credentials or tracking keys are stored on your local disk. The connection uses zero-trust architecture to keep your analytics keys secure.
