Connect the Autype MCP server to Windsurf, the AI-powered IDE with Cascade.

​
Configuration

  1. Open Windsurf Settings (Cmd+, on macOS, Ctrl+, on Windows)
  2. Navigate to Cascade → MCP Servers
  3. Add the following configuration:
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key from the Dashboard.

​
Restart Windsurf

After adding the configuration, restart Windsurf completely for the changes to take effect.

​
Verify connection

Open Cascade (Cmd+L on macOS, Ctrl+L on Windows) and ask:
“What Autype tools do you have access to?”
Cascade should list all available Autype tools like render_document, render_markdown, builder_create_session, etc.

​
Using Autype with Cascade

Once connected, you can ask Cascade to generate documents naturally:
“Generate a PDF invoice for client Acme Corp, total $5,000, due March 15th. Include a table with 3 line items.”
“Create a DOCX contract template with variables for client name, start date, and monthly fee.”
Cascade will use the Autype tools to construct the document and provide you with a download link.
