Windsurf Unphurl show_defaults

How to: Windsurf Unphurl show_defaults

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:show_defaults

Add Unphurl to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

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

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

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

Unphurl will not start until these are set, so show_defaults 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.
