Windsurf Setup
Connect Nexlayer to Windsurf, Codeium's AI-powered IDE.
Recommended: npx Install
The fastest way to get started. Run this command in your terminal:
npx @nexlayer/mcp-installThis will automatically detect Windsurf and configure the Nexlayer MCP server.
Manual Installation
If you prefer to configure manually, add the following to your Windsurf MCP config file:
Config file location:
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json{
"mcpServers": {
"nexlayer-mcp": {
"transport": "sse",
"url": "https://mcp.nexlayer.ai/api/mcp"
}
}
}After manual installation:
- • Restart Windsurf to load the new MCP server
- • You'll be prompted to authenticate on first use
Verify Installation
After installation, verify that Nexlayer is connected:
- 1
Open Windsurf
Launch the Windsurf application
- 2
Open the AI chat
Use the Cascade AI assistant
- 3
Test a deployment
Ask Cascade to “deploy this project to Nexlayer”
Troubleshooting
Config directory doesn't exist?
Open Windsurf at least once before running the installer. The config directory is created on first launch.
MCP server not loading?
Make sure to restart Windsurf after installation. Check for any JSON syntax errors in the config file.
