How MCP works in Windsurf

Windsurf reads MCP server configuration through Cascade — open the Cascade settings panel and add servers under the MCP section. The format mirrors Claude Desktop and Cursor: each entry has a command, args, and optional env. Both stdio and remote MCPs are supported. After saving, restart the Cascade session to pick up the new tools.

FAQ: MCP in Windsurf

Does Windsurf support MCP natively?

Yes. Codeium added MCP support to Cascade in late 2024. Servers configured in the Cascade MCP panel become available as tools the agent can call inside any prompt — the same protocol Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code use.

Which MCP should I install first in Windsurf?

Filesystem and GitHub. Cascade already has the open buffer in context; Filesystem extends that to "read any file in this allowed directory," which is what most agentic workflows actually need. GitHub adds cross-repo and PR context. Context7 is the third install — it eliminates hallucinated API docs.

How do I add an MCP to Windsurf?

Open Cascade settings → MCP servers → Add. Paste the server config (every MCP detail page on this site has a copy-paste snippet). Save and restart the Cascade panel — the new tools should appear in the available tools list within a few seconds.

Can I share MCP config across a Windsurf team?

Yes — Windsurf supports per-project MCP config alongside user-level config. Commit the project-scoped config file so the same MCPs load for every team member opening that workspace. Keep secrets out of the file; use env vars and a .env that is gitignored.

Is Windsurf MCP support compatible with Cursor MCPs?

Yes — MCP is an open protocol. Any MCP that works in Cursor will work in Windsurf and vice versa. The only thing that changes is the configuration file location; the server itself is identical.
