Windsurf Show HN Launches — buy per-query in-session (showhnwatch) onboard_start

How to: Windsurf Show HN Launches — buy per-query in-session (showhnwatch) onboard_start

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:onboard_start

Add Show HN Launches — buy per-query in-session (showhnwatch) to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "data-show-hn-indie-launch-side-project": {
      "serverUrl": "https://a2awire.com/mcp/data/showhnwatch-show-hn-launch-stream-hacker-news-a0a134/http"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Show HN Launches — buy per-query in-session (showhnwatch)'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

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.
