How to Use the Retable MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf modify my Retable data?

Yes. If you grant permission, the agent uses updaterecord or deleterecord to adjust your data based on your specific prompts.

Q: What happens if a tool call fails?

The agent receives a clear error message. You can then use checkretablestatus to see if the API is down or if your credentials need a look.

Connect Retable to Windsurf to let Cascade manage your relational data directly from your IDE.

Full relational data management for Windsurf

Cascade doesn't just read your rows; it understands your database schema. Use `list_projects` and `list_tables` to map out your architecture before you write a single line of code. Once the structure is clear, let your agent use `create_record` or `update_record` to populate your spreadsheets. It handles the data flow while you focus on the logic.

Autonomous data synchronization in Windsurf

Stop switching tabs to check if your API calls actually hit the database. The `check_retable_status` tool verifies your connection instantly. When your agent performs an operation, it uses `get_record` to confirm the change. It keeps your local environment in sync with your live data without manual intervention.

Direct MCP Server integration

Add this MCP Server to your config file and watch your agent discover the tools automatically. It maps the available operations to your current project context. This setup allows Cascade to treat your spreadsheet as a live data source. It queries specific tables with `list_records` to build features based on real-time info.

Setup guide

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

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.

Add the Retable 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.

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.

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Retable payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Retable tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
