How to Use the Axiom MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf use Axiom to debug production errors?

Cascade runs APL queries using runquery to fetch real-time logs. It then matches those logs with your local codebase to pinpoint the buggy file.

Q: Can I set up new Axiom alerts directly through Windsurf?

Yes. Cascade calls createmonitor and createnotifier to build alert rules based on your active project files.

Q: How do I configure the Axiom MCP Server in Windsurf?

Open your mcpconfig.json file or use the Settings UI to add the server under the mcpServers block.

Feed Axiom log datasets directly to Cascade in Windsurf using this MCP Server to trace errors and fix code in one autonomous run.

Run APL queries via Cascade to find bugs

The `run_query` tool lets Cascade pull live log data directly into your Windsurf editor. Cascade uses this tool to search your Axiom datasets for error spikes without you having to open a browser tab. When Cascade spots a crash signature in the query results, it immediately scans your local workspace files to find the broken line of code. You get a complete diagnosis and a proposed fix in Windsurf without writing a single manual APL query.

Manage your MCP Server datasets inside Windsurf

Using `create_dataset` and `create_monitor`, this MCP Server lets Cascade set up new observability pipelines as you write code. Your agent spins up the target dataset on Axiom right when you deploy a new microservice. If a service starts throwing 500 errors, Cascade calls `create_notifier` to route alerts to Slack. You don't have to leave Windsurf to wire up your monitoring stack.

Annotate Axiom deployments directly from Cascade

The `create_annotation` tool records your deployment events directly inside your Axiom dashboards from Windsurf. When Cascade finishes a multi-step code change, it marks the exact timestamp of the git push. This means your telemetry correlates perfectly with your code changes. If things go sideways right after a Cascade run, your team sees the exact annotation on the timeline.

Setup guide

Set up Axiom MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Axiom MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Axiom payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Axiom tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
