Windsurf
Windsurf + Nitrosend MCP
Windsurf is the AI-powered editor by Codeium. Windsurf supports MCP servers natively with OAuth across all transport types. Connect Nitrosend and Cascade becomes your email marketing assistant.
Setup
Step 1: Add the MCP server
Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"nitrosend": {
"serverUrl": "https://api.nitrosend.com/mcp"
}
}
}Step 2: Sign in
Restart Windsurf. On first tool call, Windsurf opens your browser for Nitrosend sign-in. Log in or create a free account — no API key needed.
Step 3: Verify
In Cascade, ask:
What's my Nitrosend account status?Cascade calls nitro_get_status and shows your account health.

Server doesn't connect
Make sure the config file is valid JSON and located at ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. Restart Windsurf after editing.
OAuth sign-in fails
Check that your browser can reach api.nitrosend.com. If sign-in keeps failing, try clearing Windsurf's MCP auth cache.
Tool calls time out
Brand scraping takes 20-30 seconds (one-time). Other calls should complete in 1-3 seconds. Check your network if timeouts persist.
Windsurf supports OAuth natively for all MCP transport types — no API keys or bridge tools needed.
