Windsurf

Windsurf Cascade uses stdio, Streamable HTTP, and SSE. OAuth is for the remote transports.

What the docs say

Cascade supports stdio, Streamable HTTP, and SSE. Add a server under Settings, Tools, Windsurf Settings, or edit mcp_config.json.

Auth. OAuth is supported for Streamable HTTP and SSE. It is not available for stdio; pass those credentials through env or args. Remote HTTP entries use serverUrl or url, plus optional headers.

Limits from the docs

Enterprise users must turn MCP on. Once an admin allowlists one server, other servers are blocked for that team.

Setup

Open the MCP config from Cascade, or go to Settings, Tools, Windsurf Settings, Add Server.
Use command and args for stdio, or serverUrl for remote HTTP.
Refresh after adding a server.

Compatibility rule

A listing is included when its directory transport token is one this platform's docs describe. The token is SSE when the transport label contains “sse”; otherwise HTTP when the label contains “http” or the listing has a hosted remote endpoint; otherwise stdio when the label contains “stdio”; otherwise undeclared. Undeclared listings are left out. This is a transport match, not a connection test. MCPwell has not run these servers inside this platform.

Directory transports counted here: local stdio, remote HTTP, SSE.

Directory tokens stdio, HTTP, and SSE are included. The GitHub block in the sample config is an example, not a gallery listing.

Officially listed is a separate mark. It is used only when this platform's own directory or connector gallery names that server and the name matches one listing in this directory. A sentence in a setup example is not a gallery listing. The mark is not a connection test.
