Using PageBolt with Windsurf Cascade Agents

Integrate PageBolt MCP with Windsurf Cascade agents. Take screenshots in multi-step cascades. Real code examples for web automation, testing, compliance audits.

Windsurf Cascade is designed for multi-agent workflows. Each step triggers the next, building complex automations. PageBolt MCP integrates seamlessly to capture visual proof at every step.

Why PageBolt + Windsurf Cascade

Cascades are powerful for:

  • Multi-step data extraction across websites
  • Compliance auditing with visual evidence
  • Automated testing with screenshots
  • Competitor monitoring with proof

Without visual capture, you lose the ability to debug failures, prove what was accessed, and satisfy compliance auditors.

Integration: 5 Minutes

Add to .windsurf/mcp.json (or via Windsurf Settings → MCP):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pagebolt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["pagebolt-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PAGEBOLT_API_KEY": "your_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cascade Example: Competitor Monitoring

async function monitorCompetitor() {
  const screenshot = await mcp.pagebolt.screenshot({
    url: "competitor.com/pricing"
  });
  return { screenshot: screenshot.imageId, timestamp: new Date() };
}

async function analyzeCompetitor(prevResult) {
  const response = await claude.messages.create({
    messages: [{
      role: "user",
      content: [
        { type: "text", text: "Analyze this pricing" },
        { type: "image", source: { type: "base64", data: prevResult.screenshot } }
      ]
    }]
  });
  return { analysis: response.content[0].text, screenshot: prevResult.screenshot };
}

async function storeResults(prevResult) {
  await db.competitorSnapshots.insert({
    timestamp: new Date(),
    screenshot: prevResult.screenshot,
    analysis: prevResult.analysis
  });
  return { status: "stored" };
}

const cascade = await windsurf.cascade([
  monitorCompetitor(),
  analyzeCompetitor,
  storeResults
]);

Cascade Patterns

  • Sequential scraping: Screenshot → Extract → Screenshot next page
  • Compliance cascade: Capture pages → Analyze → Generate audit trail
  • Testing cascade: Screenshot state → Simulate action → Assert results match

Best Practices

  • Screenshot at decision points
  • Store IDs, not duplicate image data
  • Chain results through steps
  • Log with timestamps for audit trails
