How to Use the Prismic MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can I build a page with multiple content types from Prismic using Windsurf?

Yes. Cascade can chain multiple requests. It can run listdocumentsbytype for 'testimonial' and then another for 'teammember' to assemble all the data needed for a component, all in one operation.

Connect Windsurf to your Prismic CMS and let Cascade build content-driven features for you.

Query content without writing code

This MCP Server lets Windsurf talk directly to your Prismic repository. Ask Cascade to find all blog posts with a certain tag, and it will use `list_documents_by_tag` to get them. You don't have to look up API docs or write a single line of code. It's not just about tags. You can ask for a specific document by its name or ID, and Cascade will find the right tool for the job, like `get_document_by_id`. Windsurf's agent figures out the plan, runs the tools, and gives you the content.

Build multi-language features with Cascade

Tell Cascade you need to show content in German. It will use `list_i18n_languages` to check if 'de-de' is a configured locale in your Prismic repo. If it is, Cascade can then use `search_filtered_locale` to pull the correct versions of your documents. This is how you build localized features without manual steps. Cascade chains the tools together in one autonomous sequence. It discovers the languages and then fetches the content, all from a single instruction.

Instantly understand your content model

Before you build, you need to know what you're working with. Ask Windsurf to describe the content model for your project. It will use `list_custom_types` to get a list of all your templates, like 'blog_post' or 'landing_page'. Cascade can also get a high-level view of your entire repository. With `get_repo_metadata`, it can see all available document types, languages, and tags. This gives your agent the context it needs to execute more complex tasks correctly.

Yes. Cascade can chain multiple requests. It can run `list_documents_by_type` for 'testimonial' and then another for 'team_member' to assemble all the data needed for a component, all in one operation.

Windsurf's agent can adapt. When you give it a task, it can first call `list_custom_types` to get the latest schema from your Prismic repository, ensuring it works with the most up-to-date content structures.
