Best AI & ML MCP Servers for Windsurf
Top 9 of 9 AI & ML MCP servers that work with Windsurf, ranked by security score — every entry below is human-reviewed, not just scraped. Every row has a one-click config for Windsurf — no need to open each page.
Setting up MCP servers in Windsurf
Windsurf (by Codeium) surfaces MCP servers through Cascade, its agentic chat panel — once a server is configured, Cascade can call its tools directly during a conversation without any extra steps on your part.
Like Claude Desktop and Cursor, Windsurf uses a single mcpServers object in its config file, so a config written for one of those two clients needs no key renaming to work in Windsurf — only the file path changes.
