01
Open Windsurf MCP settings
Navigate to Windsurf IDE settings and locate the MCP server configuration. Windsurf supports external MCP tool servers that extend the AI assistant with third-party capabilities.
// Windsurf + Flux
Ship code, update boards.
Connect Windsurf IDE to Flux via MCP. Create cards, check status, and track progress without leaving your editor. The AI assistant handles the API calls.
02
Configure the Flux MCP server
Add the Flux MCP server endpoint and your Flux API key. This registers Flux's board and card operations as tools that Windsurf's AI can invoke during your coding sessions.
03
Manage boards through AI commands
Ask Windsurf to create a card for the feature you are building, check your board's current state, or move a task to Done after completing it. The AI calls Flux MCP tools and shows results in the chat panel.
04
Bridge code and project tracking
Use Windsurf's AI context to connect code changes with board updates. When you finish a task, tell the AI to mark it done. When you spot a bug, have it create a card immediately, without switching applications.
01 Does Windsurf support MCP connections?
+
Yes. Windsurf IDE supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool servers. You add them in the IDE settings, and the AI assistant gains access to the registered tools. Check Windsurf's documentation for the latest MCP configuration format.
02 How is this different from using the Flux web interface?
+
The web interface gives you the full kanban board experience with drag-and-drop, labels, and multi-board views. The MCP connection in Windsurf is for quick board operations while you are already coding, without switching windows. Both use the same underlying Flux API.
03 Can I connect multiple Flux workspaces?
+
The MCP server connects via a single API key, which is scoped to the workspace where it was created. To manage boards in multiple workspaces, you would configure separate MCP server entries with different API keys.
