How to: Windsurf AMIRA — Africa Multiple Research Data literature_review

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http prompt:literature_review

Add AMIRA — Africa Multiple Research Data to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "amira-mcp-server": {
      "serverUrl": "https://data.africamultiple.uni-bayreuth.de/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

    literature_review 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 AMIRA — Africa Multiple Research Data 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

Same prompt, other clients

Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling prompts/list on 7 October 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.
