How to Use the Range MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Range keep my Windsurf workspace updated on team progress?

Cascade uses listupdates to fetch recent team check-ins directly into your editor over this protocol. It reads these check-ins to show you what others are working on while you write code.

Q: Can I post updates to Range automatically using Windsurf?

Yes, Cascade runs createupdate by analyzing your local git staging area. It drafts the update, checks it against your goals, and posts it to your team.

Q: How does Windsurf handle Range team objectives?

Cascade calls listobjectives and getobjective to pull your team's active targets. It uses this data to keep your current coding tasks aligned with company goals.

Q: What is the easiest way to find a teammate's status?

Ask Cascade to run getuser combined with listupdates for that specific teammate. It instantly displays their latest check-ins and snippets inside your active panel.

Windsurf chains your async check-ins and updates without you lifting a finger using this MCP Server.

Auto-pilot daily updates inside Windsurf

The `create_update` tool lets Cascade write and post your daily standup check-in directly inside Windsurf using the Range MCP Server. Cascade reads your local git commits, drafts the update, and posts it directly to Range. You don't have to copy-paste your work or open a browser. Cascade uses `list_updates` to see what your teammates did, matches it with your local workspace changes, and files your update in seconds.

Align active tasks with team goals

The `list_objectives` tool pulls active goals directly into your Windsurf workspace via MCP. Cascade maps your current code branch against active goals to ensure you remain focused on what matters. It queries `get_objective` to pull specific milestones, then structures your active files to hit those key metrics. You get real-time context without leaving your editor.

Automated team sync reports

The `list_teams` tool allows Cascade to map out your organization structure directly. It pulls your team's recent activity using `list_updates` to summarize progress across the board. Cascade parses these updates to find blockers, then highlights what needs your attention using this MCP tool. You stay in the loop without sitting through a single status call.
