Busabase for Windsurf

Connect Windsurf to Busabase

The Cascade agent's editor; MCP servers live in a single JSON file and support OAuth per transport type.

Give your agent this one instruction

You end up with more than a connector: the busabase skill carries the whole approval-first workflow, the CLI, and the full API — available in every future session without re-pasting anything.

Asks first

Busabase Cloud or Personal Desktop — your call, before anything happens.

Connects

Signs you in and stores the credential itself. No API key to copy by hand.

Seeds a Base

Creates and fills your first Base, so the workspace is not an empty screen.

Installs the skills

busabase and busabase-app-creator become permanent, for every session after this.

Prefer a connector?

If you would rather wire Busabase in as MCP tools than let the agent install a skill, use the server URL below.

Add Busabase to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "busabase": {
      "serverUrl": "https://busabase.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or use the MCPs icon in the top right of the Cascade panel, or Settings → Cascade → MCP Servers.

Complete OAuth in the browser when Cascade connects, then ask it to call auth_verify.

Known gotchas

The key is `serverUrl`, not `url` — a `url` key is silently ignored. The config also supports `${env:VAR}` interpolation, so a token never has to be hardcoded.

These stepsFrom official docsNo check date recorded

Written from this agent's own documentation. We have not re-run every step on a real machine, so check the linked docs if a command has changed.

Let your agent do the setup

One instruction, reviewed access, and every change it makes afterwards arrives as a proposal you approve.
