Windsurf (Codeium’s AI-native IDE) ships MCP support, letting you add Flyweel’s hosted MCP server with an X-API-Key and query connected Google/Meta Ads accounts directly from the IDE’s AI chat—via either UI or config-file setup per this guide: Windsurf - Flyweel1. The doc also includes a test prompt, exact server URL, token header details, and troubleshooting for auth and account connections.
-
Adds: step-by-step setup (UI and mcp.json), server URL, X-API-Key token instructions, test query, and troubleshooting. ↩
MCP in the IDE standardizes secure tool access, reducing context switching for analytics and ops tasks.
A consistent token-based pattern lowers integration friction and aligns with enterprise auth controls.
-
terminal
Validate MCP server connectivity, auth scope, and latency from Windsurf’s AI chat in non-prod.
-
terminal
Exercise prompt-to-tool reliability (e.g., listing Ads accounts) and capture audit logs for traceability.
Legacy codebase integration strategies...
- 01.
Pilot the MCP integration against staging Flyweel data and reuse existing secrets management for API tokens.
- 02.
Document fallbacks when the MCP server is unavailable and ensure IDE workflows degrade gracefully.
Fresh architecture paradigms...
- 01.
Adopt MCP as the default tool interface from the IDE with least-privilege tokens and scoped endpoints.
- 02.
Codify the config-file approach (mcp.json) in repo templates for repeatable developer onboarding.
