Windsurf GitHub create_issue

Add GitHub to Windsurf

1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github-mcp-server": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

2. 02

   Save the file and restart Windsurf.

3. 03

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

4. 04

   If nothing happens, check the server is running and that GitHub'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
