How to Use the Radar MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use the Radar autocomplete tool?

Cascade calls autocomplete as you describe a UI component, letting it draft autocomplete dropdowns with live place suggestions based on real-time keystrokes.

Q: Can Windsurf calculate distances using Radar?

Yes. Cascade invokes calculateroutedistance to get precise travel times, then uses those metrics to write your routing functions.

Q: Can I search for nearby points of interest?

The agent uses searchplaces to find physical locations near any set of coordinates, letting it populate mock data or live maps instantly.

Let Windsurf's Cascade chain coordinate lookups and route calculations to build location-aware features on the fly.

Automate Address Verification in Windsurf

Cascade handles messy user inputs by chaining `validate_address` and `forward_geocode` to clean and plot coordinates without you prompting every single step. If a user types a half-baked shipping address, your agent catches the typos, formats the text, and grabs the exact coordinates in one shot. Forget writing custom regex or parsing raw JSON yourself. Cascade runs the validation, checks the output, and writes the corrected address directly to your database schema while you watch.

Calculate Complex Logistics Matrices

When you need to build route-planning features, this MCP Server uses `calculate_routing_matrix` and `calculate_route_distance` to analyze travel times between multiple delivery points. It maps the optimal paths and writes the routing logic right into your backend code. It doesn't just suggest the code. The agent runs the tools, verifies actual distance outputs, and refines the sorting algorithm so your drivers get the fastest sequence.

Inject Geofence Context Into Your Code

Cascade pulls real-time environmental data using `get_location_context` and `search_geofences` to build location-triggered features over MCP. It instantly understands if a coordinate sits inside your custom virtual boundaries or a specific city limit. This lets the agent write precise conditional logic based on actual physical boundaries. You get working code that triggers alerts the moment a coordinate crosses into a monitored zone.

Setup guide

Set up Radar 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 Radar 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 Radar payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Radar tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Radar MCP in Windsurf

Cascade calls `autocomplete` as you describe a UI component, letting it draft autocomplete dropdowns with live place suggestions based on real-time keystrokes.

Yes. Cascade invokes `calculate_route_distance` to get precise travel times, then uses those metrics to write your routing functions.

Open your Windsurf settings, add the server under the mcpServers key in your config file, and Cascade auto-discovers all ten geolocation tools.

The agent uses `search_places` to find physical locations near any set of coordinates, letting it populate mock data or live maps instantly.

No, your IP addresses and physical addresses are processed ephemerally through Vinkius sandboxed isolates. The data goes directly to the geolocation API and is never stored on our servers.
