Windsurf Openei Urdb deep_research

How to: Windsurf Openei Urdb deep_research

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:deep_research

Add Openei Urdb to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openei-urdb": {
      "serverUrl": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openei-urdb/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Openei Urdb'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 25 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.
