How to Use the ProcessOn MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I add the ProcessOn MCP Server to Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server config under the mcpServers key. You can also use the Windsurf UI under Settings -> Cascade -> MCP Servers to paste the connection details.

Q: Can Windsurf Cascade create new diagrams on ProcessOn?

Yes, Cascade uses the createfile tool to spin up new flowcharts or mind maps. You just tell the agent what you want to build, and it handles the file creation.

Q: Does the ProcessOn integration with Windsurf support folder navigation?

Yes. Windsurf uses listfolders and getfoldercontent to read your directory tree. This lets your agent find files buried deep inside your account.

Q: How does Cascade handle exporting files?

The agent calls exportfile to download your diagrams as images or documents. It can then place those files directly into your workspace folders.

Manage your ProcessOn flowcharts and mind maps directly inside Windsurf as Cascade chains diagram updates and exports.

Chain diagram tasks with Cascade

The `list_files` tool lets Cascade audit your entire workspace to find old diagrams that need cleaning. It checks the contents with `get_file` and removes outdated layouts using `delete_file` in one single run. You do not need to prompt Cascade for each step. It maps out the sequence, gets your confirmation, and executes the entire cleanup.

Automate exports using this MCP Server

Using `get_recent_files` allows Cascade to grab your latest visual assets without you having to open a web browser. It pulls the assets into your active directory using `export_file` so you can keep coding. This MCP Server exposes your raw workspace data directly to the agent. It reads your folder structures with `list_folders` so it always knows exactly where your design assets live.

Audit team access and folder structures

The `list_collaborators` tool gives Cascade direct access to your sharing settings so you can audit team permissions. If you need to check team boundaries, it pulls your high-level setup with `get_org_info` to keep permissions tight. It can also dig into nested directories. By calling `get_folder_content`, Cascade maps out your team assets and flags files that are sitting in the wrong directories.
