How to Use the Relay Workflow Automation MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I trigger Relay Workflow Automation tasks in Windsurf?

You use the runworkflow tool. Simply provide the JSON payload required by your specific automation, and the server executes it immediately.

Q: Can Windsurf monitor Relay Workflow Automation status?

Yes. You can call getrunstatus or listruns to see exactly what is happening with your active and past executions.

Q: Is it possible to stop a Relay Workflow Automation run from Windsurf?

Use the cancelrun tool. This command stops any workflow that is currently in progress.

Trigger and monitor your Relay workflows directly from the Windsurf IDE to keep your automation logic in sync with your codebase.

Manage Relay workflows in Windsurf

Use `list_workflows` to see what automations you have ready to go. Cascade pulls these into your active context so you know exactly which ones are available for your current task. Getting details on a specific automation is just as fast with `get_workflow`. You don't have to leave your editor to check the required inputs or current configuration.

Execute and track runs

Trigger your logic using `run_workflow` by passing the necessary JSON inputs. Cascade handles the execution, allowing you to focus on the code rather than managing API requests. Check the progress of any job with `get_run_status`. If you need to stop something, `cancel_run` kills the process before it goes off the rails.

Audit your automation history

Run `list_runs` to see a log of recent activity. This gives you a clear picture of what triggered when, right inside your IDE. Reviewing these logs helps you catch errors early. It's the best way to keep your Relay Workflow Automation stable while working in Windsurf.

Setup guide

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