Windsurf Skyelight assign

How to: Windsurf Skyelight assign

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:assign

Add Skyelight to Windsurf

  1. 01

    Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://app.skyelight.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

    Ask for something assign does. Windsurf lists the server's tools on connect and calls assign itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Skyelight's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Global only — Windsurf has no per-project MCP config. Refresh Cascade after saving. Windsurf docs

Set these first

Skyelight will not start until these are set, so assign never becomes available.

  • SKYELIGHT_API_URL
  • SKYELIGHT_API_TOKEN

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 November 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
