Windsurf SignupBouncer explain_reason

How to: Windsurf SignupBouncer explain_reason

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:explain_reason

Add SignupBouncer to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "checker": {
      "serverUrl": "https://signupbouncer.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that SignupBouncer'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 16 October 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.
