Windsurf emem, the verifiable memory protocol for the physical world fetch
How to: Windsurf emem, the verifiable memory protocol for the physical world fetch
Add emem, the verifiable memory protocol for the physical world to Windsurf
-
01
Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"emem": {
"serverUrl": "https://emem.dev/mcp"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Windsurf.
-
03
Ask for something fetch does. Windsurf lists the server's tools on connect and calls fetch itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that emem, the verifiable memory protocol for the physical world'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
Set these first
emem, the verifiable memory protocol for the physical world will not start until these are set, so fetch never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 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.
