Windsurf GitHub get_me

How to: Windsurf GitHub get_me

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:get_me

Add GitHub to Windsurf

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/"
    }
  }
}

02
Save the file and restart Windsurf.
03
Ask for something get_me does. Windsurf lists the server's tools on connect and calls get_me itself — you do not invoke it by name.
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

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.
