Windsurf sow Prompt/write_proposal_from_hours

How to: Windsurf sow write_proposal_from_hours

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http prompt:write_proposal_from_hours

Add sow to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sow": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/sow"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

    write_proposal_from_hours 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 sow 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

sow 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 24 September 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.
