Windsurf ALM X++ MCP Server Prompt/xpp_expert_guidelines

How to: Windsurf ALM X++ MCP Server xpp_expert_guidelines

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http prompt:xpp_expert_guidelines

Add ALM X++ MCP Server to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alm-xpp-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.almxpp.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

    xpp_expert_guidelines is surfaced in the client's prompt or command menu. Unlike a tool, you invoke it deliberately — Windsurf will not call it for you.

  3. 04

    If it does not appear, check that ALM X++ MCP Server is connected and that you are looking at its prompts rather than its tools.

Global only — Windsurf has no per-project MCP config. Refresh Cascade after saving. Windsurf docs

Set these first

ALM X++ MCP Server will not start until these are set, so it never reaches Windsurf.

Same prompt, other clients

Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling prompts/list on 24 September 2026. A listing does not declare its prompts, so asking is the only way to know them, and this is what the server actually offers rather than what its listing claims. Names only are stored; connect the server for each prompt's arguments.
