Windsurf + Homedata MCP — frequently asked questions

How do I install the Homedata MCP in Windsurf?
Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (create the file if it's missing), paste the homedata block from this page, drop in your API key and relaunch Windsurf. Cascade picks the server up automatically.
Does the MCP work with Windsurf on macOS, Windows and Linux?
Yes — Windsurf is cross-platform and so is homedata-mcp. The path to mcp_config.json is the same on all three platforms under your home directory.
Can I see which tool Cascade is calling?
Yes. Cascade shows the tool name and arguments inline before it runs the call. That's also useful for debugging — if a tool errors, the response is shown in-chat with the error code.
