How to Use the Cilium (eBPF Networking) MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf Cascade modify my Cilium (eBPF Networking) settings?

Yes. Cascade uses the patchconfig tool to apply daemon configuration changes directly from your prompt. You review the proposed patch before the agent executes it.

Q: Why use the Cilium (eBPF Networking) server in Windsurf instead of kubectl?

Context switching breaks focus. Bringing eBPF tools like getclusternodes into the IDE lets Cascade chain network diagnostics directly into your code changes.

Q: Does this server support reading specific container endpoints?

The getendpoint tool takes specific IDs like container-id:abc or cilium-local:123. Cascade feeds these IDs into your active debugging session.

Let Windsurf Cascade inspect your cluster nodes and patch daemon configs autonomously.

Perplexity

Manage network endpoints inside Windsurf.

The `get_endpoint` tool fetches specific container or local networking targets directly into your editor context. Cascade pulls the exact ID you need without leaving the workspace. When a new service spins up, Cascade chains that data straight into `create_endpoint`. You tell the agent to route traffic, and it handles the eBPF layer mapping behind the scenes.

Diagnose Cilium (eBPF Networking) MCP Server health.

The `get_healthz` tool exposes the current status of your Cilium daemon. Cascade reads this diagnostic data to figure out why a pod dropped its network connection. Instead of running terminal commands manually, you ask Windsurf to check the mesh. The agent fires `get_cluster_nodes` to map out the agent storage, cross-referencing node data with the daemon health output.

Patch daemon configurations autonomously.

The `get_config` tool pulls your active daemon settings into the IDE. Cascade reviews the current eBPF parameters against your target state. If a setting blocks a deployment, Cascade uses `patch_config` to push the required changes. You approve the plan, and the agent modifies the networking rules on the fly.

Setup guide

Set up Cilium (eBPF Networking) 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 Cilium (eBPF Networking) 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 Cilium (eBPF Networking) payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Cilium (eBPF Networking) tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.
