Windsurf Canli Validation validate_backtest_length

How to: Windsurf Canli Validation validate_backtest_length

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:validate_backtest_length

Add Canli Validation to Windsurf

01
Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "canli-validation-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://canlicapital.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

02
Save the file and restart Windsurf.
03
Ask for something validate_backtest_length does. Windsurf lists the server's tools on connect and calls validate_backtest_length itself — you do not invoke it by name.
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Canli Validation'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

Canli Validation will not start until these are set, so validate_backtest_length never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients

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