Windsurf mcp check_balance

How to: Windsurf mcp check_balance

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:check_balance

Add mcp to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.doc.cheap/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that mcp'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

mcp will not start until these are set, so check_balance never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 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.
