Windsurf Tasks Example long_running_task

How to: Windsurf Tasks Example long_running_task

client:Windsurf transport:streamable-http tool:long_running_task

Add Tasks Example to Windsurf

  1. 01

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tasks-example": {
      "serverUrl": "https://tasks-example-ca49f0f6.alpic.live"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Windsurf.

  2. 03

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

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Tasks Example'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 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.
