Windsurf

Connect Crow to Windsurf, the AI-powered IDE by Codeium.

Option A: Local (stdio)

Setup Steps

1. Clone and set up Crow:

   git clone https://github.com/kh0pper/crow.git
   cd crow
   npm run setup

2. Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "crow-memory": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/path/to/crow/servers/memory/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "CROW_DB_PATH": "/path/to/crow/data/crow.db"
         }
       },
       "crow-research": {
         "command": "node",
         "args": ["/path/to/crow/servers/research/index.js"],
         "env": {
           "CROW_DB_PATH": "/path/to/crow/data/crow.db"
         }
       }
     }
   }

3. Restart Windsurf.

Option B: Remote (HTTP)

Setup Steps

1. Deploy Crow (Cloud Deploy Guide)

2. Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "crow-memory": {
         "url": "https://your-gateway.onrender.com/memory/mcp"
       },
       "crow-research": {
         "url": "https://your-gateway.onrender.com/research/mcp"
       },
       "crow-tools": {
         "url": "https://your-gateway.onrender.com/tools/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

3. Windsurf will handle OAuth automatically when connecting.

Transport

• Local: stdio
• Remote: Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1

Cross-Platform Context

Load Crow's shared behavioral context in Windsurf:

"Use the crow_get_context tool with platform set to windsurf"

IDE platforms get minimal transparency output. Memories stored from Windsurf are shared with all other connected platforms. See the Cross-Platform Guide.

Verification

In Windsurf's Cascade chat, try:

"Store a memory that Windsurf is connected to Crow."
