Windsurf Store Canary Prompt/explain_finding

How to: Windsurf Store Canary explain_finding

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http prompt:explain_finding

Add Store Canary to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "store-canary": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.storecanary.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

    explain_finding 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 Store Canary 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 14 November 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.
