Windsurf

Windsurf's Cascade agent supports MCP natively. Install the Sportmonks MCP server and Cascade has live access to all 11 tools - fetching real data mid-conversation as it writes your code.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+

• A Sportmonks API token from my.sportmonks.com

• Windsurf installed

Setup

1. Add the MCP server to Windsurf

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (create it if it doesn't exist):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sportmonks-football": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "sportmonks-football-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SPORTMONKS_API_TOKEN": "your_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Optional environment variables can be added to the env block:

Variable	Description
SPORTMONKS_LOG_FILE	Path for the local tool-call log. Set to off to disable. Defaults to your OS temp directory
SPORTMONKS_DEBUG_URLS	Set to 1 or true to log outbound API URLs to stderr (token redacted). Off by default

2. Restart Windsurf

Open the Cascade panel - the Sportmonks tools will be available.

Test it

Open Cascade and ask:

Search for "Bayern Munich" and get their current squad

Fetch today's fixtures and show me the ones that are live right now

Using context without MCP

If you prefer not to install the server, paste the full context block at the start of your Cascade session. Cascade will use it to write accurate Sportmonks integration code, though it won't be able to fetch live data directly.
