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
