Deterministic time math for Windsurf

Stop letting your agent hallucinate math when scheduling infrastructure jobs. The `convert_time` tool forces a hard conversion of strings like '4h' or '30m' into precise millisecond integers. Windsurf picks up these values directly, ensuring your deployment scripts or TTL settings never fail due to a bad string-to-number translation.

Bidirectional conversion in your IDE

You don't just need to calculate forward. Sometimes you have a raw epoch offset and need to know what that looks like in human time. Pass the integer back into `convert_time` to get the readable duration. It keeps your logs and your head in sync without leaving the editor.

Zero-config MCP integration

Vinkius manages the connection so you don't have to deal with broken socket handshakes. Just add the endpoint to your config and let the server handle the heavy lifting. Cascade sees the tool, understands the schema, and starts using it immediately. No more back-and-forth prompts to fix bad duration strings.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Time MS Converter MCP in Windsurf

Open your Windsurf settings and locate the MCP section. Paste the server details provided by Vinkius, hit refresh, and your agent will detect the tools automatically.

Yes. If you need to define a delay for a background process, just ask the agent to use the tool. It returns the exact integer required for your configuration files.

Absolutely. Just provide the duration string, and the tool outputs the precise millisecond value. You can then pipe that directly into your request headers.

The server returns an error. It doesn't guess or try to approximate, which prevents your pipeline from running with incorrect data.

Vinkius treats your time strings as ephemeral data. We never log the specific durations you convert, and the server runs in a secure, isolated environment.
