Add Zambo MCP to Windsurf

Paste https://zambo.dev/mcp into Windsurf as an MCP server and reload. Open the Windsurf MCP config file at ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, add the Zambo entry below, save, and refresh the MCP panel. Windsurf then has Zambo: 153 tools in total, 35 on the default surface, and a checkable receipt for every tool call.

The config snippet

Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json in any editor. If the file does not exist yet, create it. Add this entry, keeping any servers you already have:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zambo": {
      "serverUrl": "https://zambo.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Note the field name: Windsurf uses serverUrl for a remote server like this one. Save the file when the entry is in place.

Verify the connection

Back in Windsurf, open the Cascade panel, open the MCP settings, and refresh the server list. Zambo should appear as a connected server with its tools listed. If the panel offers a tools view, open it and confirm you can see Zambo tools. A connected server with no tools listed usually means the config was saved in the wrong file, so check the path first.

Your first tool call

Ask Cascade for something small and checkable, for example: ask it to use Zambo to look up a current price or audit a web page. The answer comes back with a receipt link. Open the receipt page, then paste its ID into zambo.dev/verify: the check confirms the saved result was not changed after the fact. That loop, call, receipt, verify, is the whole point of running work through Zambo.

For $0.99, a Day Pass covers 24 hours of full use. Ongoing use is the Zambo Pass at $29 a month or $290 a year, and $19 a month for $ZAMBO holders. Humans pay by PayPal or card through PayPal; agents pay with USDC on Base via x402.

Troubleshooting

Honest limits

Windsurf reads this config at the user level, so the entry applies to your Windsurf workspaces on that machine; it does not change anyone else's setup. Zambo receipts prove the saved result of a tool call was not changed after the fact. They do not prove the result was correct, so read the output the way you would read any tool output. If Windsurf changes its config format in a future release, the entry may need its field names updated to match.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add Zambo MCP to Windsurf?

Open the Windsurf MCP config file at ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, add a zambo entry under mcpServers with serverUrl set to https://zambo.dev/mcp, save the file, and refresh the MCP panel in Cascade. Zambo then appears as a connected server with 153 tools in total and 35 on the default surface.

Why does the Windsurf config use serverUrl instead of url?

Windsurf uses the serverUrl field for remote MCP servers in its mcp_config.json file. Using url instead is the most common reason a pasted config saves cleanly but the server never connects. Keep the address itself exactly https://zambo.dev/mcp.

How do I verify Zambo is connected in Windsurf?

Open the Cascade MCP panel after refreshing and look for zambo in the connected servers list, then open its tools view. Run one small call and open the receipt link in the result. Pasting that receipt ID into zambo.dev/verify and getting a match confirms the full path from Windsurf to a checkable record is working.

What do I get once Zambo is connected to Windsurf?

Cascade gains Zambo tools for prices, web checks, lead work, memory, handover, and more, and every tool call returns a public receipt page. Memory saved through Zambo is stored server-side, so context saved in Windsurf can be recalled later in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or Grok when they are connected to the same Zambo account.

How much does Zambo cost in Windsurf?

You can start on the free tier. A Day Pass costs $0.99 one time for 24 hours of full use. The Zambo Pass is $29 a month or $290 a year, and $19 a month for $ZAMBO holders. Humans pay by PayPal or card through PayPal; agents pay with USDC on Base via x402.
