How to Use the Doppler MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I add this Doppler MCP Server to Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers block. You can also use the Settings interface under Cascade to paste the Vinkius connection details. Cascade instantly registers the 12 tools upon reload.

Q: Can Windsurf Cascade delete my Doppler secrets?

Yes, Cascade can run deletesecrets if you explicitly instruct it to remove specific keys. Always verify the target environment before giving Cascade the go-ahead, as deleted secrets cannot be recovered unless they inherit from a parent config.

Q: How does this integration protect my Doppler secret values?

Vinkius processes listsecrets payloads in ephemeral, zero-trust V8 isolates that destroy all data upon execution. Your raw secret values and config metadata are never stored or logged on our infrastructure.

Let Windsurf Cascade auto-rotate secrets and manage your Doppler environments without context switching.

Update secrets directly in Windsurf using Cascade

`change_secrets` lets Cascade update your Doppler configuration values on the fly when environment variables change. If you spin up a new database, Cascade writes the new connection string to your target workspace immediately. You avoid the manual copy-paste routine between your terminal and the Doppler dashboard. The agent handles the update, verifies the config, and keeps your local dev environment synced.

Audit Doppler configuration changes in Windsurf

`list_activity_logs` pulls the exact history of who modified which config directly into your Cascade session. This tool helps you track down drift issues without leaving your IDE. When an environment variable breaks a build, Cascade reads the log to pinpoint the exact change. You see who changed the value and when, making debugging instant.

Map Doppler projects to Windsurf workspaces

`list_projects` provides Cascade with the complete list of your Doppler workspaces and projects. This MCP Server lets the agent find the correct configuration target for your active workspace automatically. Cascade uses this structural map to query `list_configs` and select the staging or production parameters. The agent maps your local codebase to the correct cloud configurations without manual path definitions.

Setup guide

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

No, Windsurf routes requests through the secure Vinkius gateway using your single endpoint token. Your primary Doppler credentials never reside in your local workspace configuration files or project directories.

Cascade uses the MCP environment tools to get resolved values that already incorporate any parent environment fallbacks. This ensures your agent reads the exact runtime values without having to manually calculate inheritance.
