Windsurf

Manual config

Windsurf (by Codeium) supports MCP servers. Add Sigil to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

Setup

1. Get the correct config for your machine:

   sigil register --print

2. Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (create it if it doesn’t exist) and add the sigil entry:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "sigil": {
         "command": "/usr/local/bin/node",
         "args": ["/path/to/sigil/dist/server.js", "--mcp"],
         "env": { "DOTENV_CONFIG_PATH": "/Users/you/.sigil/.env" }
       }
     }
   }

3. Restart Windsurf. Sigil tools are now available in Cascade.

Nudging Windsurf to use memory

Add a rule to Windsurf’s global rules or your project’s .windsurfrules:

Before answering questions about this project's architecture, decisions, or
preferences, call the Sigil `search` MCP tool. When the user shares a decision
or preference worth keeping, call `ingest` to save it.

CLI fallback

Windsurf has terminal access. Use the Sigil CLI directly:

sigil search "event delivery setup"
sigil remember "Windsurf found we use Drizzle with Postgres, not Prisma"
