How to Use the Cloudflare Stream MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf connect to the Cloudflare Stream MCP Server?

You configure the connection by editing your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file or using the Cascade MCP UI. Add the server under the mcpServers key, then click refresh to let Cascade auto-discover all 26 video tools.

Q: Can Cascade handle webhooks for my video events?

Cascade calls getwebhook to inspect your current configuration and uses updatewebhook to point video event notifications to your local development server.

Let Windsurf Cascade chain video uploads, configure live inputs, and manage your Cloudflare Stream library autonomously.

Automate video ingestion in Windsurf

The Cloudflare Stream MCP Server exposes tools for video ingestion directly to Windsurf's Cascade agent. When you drop a raw video link into the chat, Cascade calls `initiate_upload` to start the TUS protocol upload and then monitors progress without you needing to click a single button. Once the upload finishes, Cascade automatically calls `generate_caption` to handle subtitling. It finishes the job by calling `create_mp4_download` so your users can grab the video offline immediately.

Set up live simulcasts without leaving Cascade

This MCP server gives Cascade the power to spin up live broadcasts instantly. You tell the agent to prep a live event, and it executes `create_live_input` to get your streaming keys, then immediately chains `create_live_output` to push the feed to Twitch or YouTube. If the stream needs to change on the fly, Cascade runs `list_live_outputs` to verify active destinations and updates them. You don't have to copy-paste RTMP URLs between dashboards anymore.

Manage video assets and security keys in your IDE

The server provides tools to audit and secure your media library. Cascade uses `list_videos` to find untagged assets, cleans up old files using `delete_video`, and fetches storage metrics via `get_storage_usage` when your disk space runs low. To protect your content, Cascade calls `create_signing_key` and configures securing options via `edit_video`. You get signed URLs generated right in your editor context.
