Windsurf Palimpsest — censorship, China economy and model-eval observatory get_signal

How to: Windsurf Palimpsest — censorship, China economy and model-eval observatory get_signal

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:get_signal

Add Palimpsest — censorship, China economy and model-eval observatory to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "palimpsest": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.seiche.info/palimpsest/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Palimpsest — censorship, China economy and model-eval observatory'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

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.
