Setup guide

Set up mcp-server-templates in Windsurf

communitystdiounknown

A flexible platform that provides Docker & Kubernetes backends, a lightweight CLI (mcpt), and client utilities for seamless MCP integration. Spin up servers from templates, route requests through a single endpoint with load balancing, and support both deployed (HTTP) and local (stdio) transports — all with sensible defaults and YAML-based configs.

01Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-templates": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "dataeverything/mcp-server-templates:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add this to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. Generated from the captured install method (docker); the mcpServers shape is shared across Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code.

02Steps

Make sure Windsurf is installed and up to date.
Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and add the block above (merge into any existing mcpServers).
Provide any required API keys/credentials as environment variables.
Restart Windsurf and confirm mcp-server-templates’s tools appear.
