Windsurf RedBison escape_characters

How to: Windsurf RedBison escape_characters

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:escape_characters

Add RedBison to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.redbison.dev"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that RedBison'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 11 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.
