Windsurf Parallax Protocol Prompt/network_health_report
How to: Windsurf Parallax Protocol network_health_report
Add Parallax Protocol to Windsurf
-
01
Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"parallax-mcp": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.parallaxprotocol.org/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Windsurf.
-
03
network_health_report is surfaced in the client's prompt or command menu. Unlike a tool, you invoke it deliberately — Windsurf will not call it for you.
-
04
If it does not appear, check that Parallax Protocol 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
Set these first
Parallax Protocol will not start until these are set, so it never reaches Windsurf.

Same prompt, other clients
Read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling prompts/list on 13 October 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.
