What You Can Do with Windsurf + LinkedIn

Describe what you need in Cascade. Crispy handles the LinkedIn side so you can stay in your editor.

Prospect research while you build

“Find 10 engineering managers at Series B dev-tools companies in Berlin”

Without leaving Windsurf, Cascade searches LinkedIn and returns a structured list - ready to use in your outreach pipeline or data model.

Build LinkedIn automations

“Fetch my recent connection requests and save them to a JSON file”

Use Crispy tools to prototype and test LinkedIn workflows directly in your editor. Inspect real API responses as you build.

Seed development databases

“Pull 50 LinkedIn profiles of senior backend engineers and insert them into my dev DB”

Populate test fixtures with real LinkedIn data without writing a scraper. Cascade calls the MCP tools and formats the output for your schema.

Trigger outreach from code

“Send a connection request to the author of this GitHub repository”

Connect LinkedIn actions to your development workflow. Reach out to contributors, maintainers, or potential hires without context switching.

Draft and publish content

“Write a LinkedIn post announcing this open-source release and publish it”

Cascade drafts a post from your release notes, formats it for LinkedIn, and publishes - or queues it for your approval.

Pull analytics into reports

“Get my post analytics for the last 30 days and format them as a markdown table”

Surface LinkedIn performance data inside your editor. Pipe it into dashboards, reports, or automated summaries.
