Install in Windsurf

Windsurf (by Codeium) supports MCP through its Plugins & MCPsettings panel. Cascade (Windsurf's agent) picks up the tools automatically after a reload.

Prerequisites

  • Windsurf 1.4+ with MCP enabled (Settings → Plugins & MCP).
  • Node.js 18+.
  • PlanMySaaS API key from Settings.

Step 1 — Open MCP settings

  1. Windsurf → Settings (⌘, / Ctrl+,).
  2. Find Plugins & MCP in the left nav.
  3. Click Add MCP server.

Step 2 — Paste the server config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "planmysaas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@planmysaas/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "PLANMYSAAS_API_KEY": "pms_live_paste_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Step 3 — Reload Windsurf

Cascade picks up the tools after a full window reload (⌘R / Ctrl+R). The tools appear in the function list when you open Cascade.

Step 4 — Use it

Open Cascade (⌘I) and ask:

Use PlanMySaaS to generate full blueprint for a habit-tracking SaaS targeting medical residents.

Using with Windsurf's existing IDE tools

A nice flow: let Cascade run generate_prompt_pack via PlanMySaaS, then use Cascade's built-in codebase tools to implement the prompts one by one. You get the planning depth from us + the code-writing from Windsurf.

Troubleshooting

  • If Cascade shows PlanMySaaS offline, check Windsurf's MCP log tab for stderr output from the server.
  • First run downloads the package via npx — takes ~10 seconds.
  • 402 insufficient_credits → upgrade at /pricing.
