How to add the Windsurf Docs MCP server to Cursor

Server URL: https://docs.windsurf.com/mcp
Sign-in: No sign-in. Paste the URL and it connects.
Our hands-on result: Partial 5 of 6 tasks passed, tested Oct 16, 2026 with MCP TypeScript SDK (reference client).

Cursor setup

File: ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "windsurf-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.windsurf.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file. The server shows a green dot in Cursor Settings, then MCP.

We ran the hands-on test in a reference client, not in Cursor. This config follows Cursor's documented format for remote (Streamable HTTP) servers. If it fails for you, tell us and we will retest.
