Windsurf FIDE Laws of Chess law_packages
How to: Windsurf FIDE Laws of Chess law_packages
Add FIDE Laws of Chess to Windsurf
-
01
Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"fide-chess": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.arxo.io/mcp/fide-chess"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Windsurf.
-
03
Ask for something law_packages does. Windsurf lists the server's tools on connect and calls law_packages itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that FIDE Laws of Chess'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
FIDE Laws of Chess will not start until these are set, so law_packages never becomes available.

FIDE_CHESS_MCP_CALL_TIMEOUT
Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 14 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.
