What it does

Windsurf MCP Integration is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Manage integrate MCP servers with Windsurf for extended capabilities. Activate when users mention "mcp integration", "model context protocol", "external tools", "mcp server", or "cascade tools". Handles MCP server configuration and integration. Use when working with windsurf mcp integration functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf mcp integration", "windsurf integration", "windsurf".

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/directory-structure.md`, `references/errors.md` and `references/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • S mention mcp integration
  • Model context protocol
  • Working with windsurf mcp integration functionality
  • With phrases like windsurf mcp integration

Example prompts

  • “mcp integration”
  • “model context protocol”
  • “external tools”
  • “/windsurf-mcp-integration”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(cmd:*)

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Enable MCP Servers
  2. Configure Tools
  3. Set Up Authentication
  4. Test Integration
  5. Deploy to Team

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(cmd:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • modelcontextprotocol.io
    • docs.windsurf.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Windsurf MCP Integration loads about 508 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 150 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~508
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Windsurf Mcp Integration

Overview

This skill enables integration of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers with Windsurf, extending Cascade's capabilities with external tools and services. MCP allows Cascade to interact with databases, filesystems, APIs, and custom tools through a standardized protocol.

Prerequisites

  • Windsurf IDE with MCP support enabled
  • Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ for MCP servers
  • MCP server packages installed (npm or pip)
  • Network access for remote MCP servers
  • Understanding of MCP protocol basics
  • Admin permissions for server configuration

Instructions

  1. Enable MCP Servers
  2. Configure Tools
  3. Set Up Authentication
  4. Test Integration
  5. Deploy to Team

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

Output

  • Configured MCP servers accessible via Cascade
  • Tool registry with all available operations
  • Permission matrix for access control
  • Audit logs for tool invocations

Error Handling

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.

Examples

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.
