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.
