Connect Windsurf to NocoDB

Windsurf works with NocoDB through the NocoDB MCP server. You paste the JSON block from your MCP connection in NocoDB into the Cascade MCP plugins of Windsurf.

Set up Windsurf

Windsurf connects directly to the MCP endpoint over HTTP. Thus it does not need the mcp-remote bridge. Its JSON block carries the endpoint URL and the token header.

1. Open Windsurf Settings (⌘+,).
2. In the Cascade section > Plugins (MCP Server), click Manage Plugins.
3. Paste the JSON block that you copied here.
4. Save.

Configuration example

Cursor and Windsurf connect over HTTP, so their block carries the endpoint URL and the token header. Cursor names the address url, and Windsurf names it serverUrl:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "NocoDB MCP": {
      "url": "https://your-domain.com/mcp/<ncId>",
      "headers": { "x-api-key": "<ncToken>" }
    }
  }
}
