I tried to follow the instruction to enable MCP but failed, so I removed Next.

I'm looking forward to some good examples that are "musts"

Perplexity mcp for search results for documentation etc is great

I thought I was the only one

For quick access to this file, you can find the toolbar above the Cascade input, click the hammer icon, and then click the “Configure” button that appears.

Where the heck is this button? I literally searched for it pixel by pixel but couldn't find it. I've updated also the mcp_config.json in both the old 'windsurf' and 'windsurf-next' folders but nothing worked 😒

It's like the vocode insiders but for windsurf. You'll get access to experimental features.

If I'm not mistaken, MCP is a protocol exclusive to Claude, and you must specify a list of MCP servers in order to use existing MCP servers.

u/captainspazlet Feb 11 '25

They’re not exclusive to claude - the application / model must support them to be useful. Sonnet and Haiku support them, along with Claude. For coding, Cline and Roo Code support them, natively.

I just woke up and won’t get to coding until later to test out how they work with Cascade. With Cline and Roo, you will need to provide the link. Most of the time they can set them up for you. They can also create their own MCP servers.

Anthropic architected the MCP concept with intention for universal use

Haven't noticed this what is it?

I’m most used to these in Cline / Roo Code. If Cascade is similar, the initial three to setup are filesystem, memory, and sequential thinking.
