Windsurf ​

Windsurf (Codeium) uses a global MCP config — not per-project. The harness generates a snippet to merge into the global config, plus a .windsurfrules file for project-level governance instructions.

Setup ​

bash
kcp-harness integrate windsurf

This generates:

windsurf-mcp-snippet.json (not committed) ​

A snippet to merge into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

json
{
  "kcp-harness": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["kcp-harness", "serve"]
  }
}

Merge it into your global config:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kcp-harness": { ... }
  }
}

.windsurfrules (committed) ​

Project-level governance instructions for Windsurf's Cascade agent:

# KCP Knowledge Governance
1. Always call kcp_plan or kcp_load before reading governed files
2. The harness intercepts tool calls and routes through the planner
3. Budget and temporal governance are enforced automatically
...

Why Global? ​

Windsurf doesn't support per-project MCP config files. The MCP server config lives in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and applies to all projects. The .windsurfrules file provides project-specific governance instructions.

After modifying the global config, restart Windsurf.
