Windsurf

Available

Connect FeedNest to Windsurf IDE for AI-powered feed access in your editor.

Prerequisites

Setup

  1. 1

    Open the MCP config file

    Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json or go to Settings → Tools → Add Server.

  2. 2

    Add the FeedNest server

    Paste the configuration below. Replace fn_live_... with your API key.

  3. 3

    Restart Windsurf

    Restart the IDE to load the new MCP server configuration.

Windsurf MCP configuration

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "feednest": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.feednest.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer fn_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Uses "serverUrl" not "url"

Windsurf uses "serverUrl" (not "url") for the server address. Using the wrong key will cause a silent failure.

With environment variable

Using environment variable (recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "feednest": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.feednest.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:FEEDNEST_API_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify your connection

After setup, try one of these prompts to confirm everything is working:

  • →“What are my unread articles?”
  • →“Summarize my latest saved articles”
  • →“How many feeds am I subscribed to?”

Troubleshooting

Server not detected after adding config

Make sure the key is "serverUrl" (not "url"). Windsurf uses a different field name than Cursor.

Authentication errors

Verify your API key is correct. The Authorization header must be formatted as "Bearer fn_live_..." (with a space).
