About Doppler MCP Server
Connect your Doppler account to any AI agent and take full control of your secrets management through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Doppler tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 12 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Workspace & Project Discovery — List all workspaces and projects with their names, slugs and descriptions
- Config (Environment) Management — View all configs (development, staging, production) per project and their metadata
- Secret Auditing — List all secret names and computed values for any config, with environment fallback resolution
- Secret Operations — Add, update and delete secrets in any environment with atomic change requests
- Activity Logging — Review the full audit log of secret reads, writes, config changes and user activity per project
The Doppler MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Windsurf with the Doppler MCP Server
Windsurf provides unique advantages when paired with Doppler through the Model Context Protocol.
Windsurf's Cascade agent autonomously chains multiple tool calls in sequence, solving complex multi-step tasks without manual intervention
Purpose-built for agentic workflows — Cascade understands context across your entire codebase and integrates MCP tools natively
JSON-based configuration means zero code changes: paste a URL, reload, and all 12 tools are immediately available
Real-time tool feedback is displayed inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor without switching contexts
Doppler + Windsurf Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Windsurf combined with the Doppler MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated code generation: ask Cascade to fetch data from Doppler and generate models, types, or handlers based on real API responses
Live debugging: query Doppler tools mid-session to inspect production data while debugging without leaving the editor
Documentation generation: pull schema information from Doppler and have Cascade generate comprehensive API docs automatically
Rapid prototyping: combine Doppler data with Cascade's code generation to scaffold entire features in minutes
Doppler MCP Tools for Windsurf (12)
These 12 tools become available when you connect Doppler to Windsurf via MCP:
change_secrets
Provide project_slug, config_name and a JSON object mapping secret names to values. For example: {"DATABASE_URL":"postgres://...","API_KEY":"sk-..."}. Existing secrets not included are not modified. Add or update secrets in a Doppler config
delete_secrets
Provide project_slug, config_name and comma-separated secret names. WARNING: deleted secrets cannot be recovered. If a secret inherits a value from a parent, it reverts to that value. Delete secrets from a Doppler config
get_account
Returns account email, name, and token metadata (type, scope, permissions). Use this to verify your token is working correctly and understand its access level. Get the current Doppler account details
get_config
Returns config name, project, root status, associated environment template, creation date and locked status. Get details for a specific Doppler config
get_project
Provide the project slug (e.g. "my-api-project") and optionally the workspace slug. Get details for a specific Doppler project
get_secret
Returns the secret name and its resolved value with fallbacks from parent environments applied. Get a specific secret value from a Doppler config
list_activity_logs
Each entry shows who performed what action, when and the affected config. Optionally filter by config_name. Useful for security auditing and compliance. List activity logs for a Doppler project
list_configs
Each config represents a deployment environment (development, staging, production) and contains its own set of secrets. Returns config name, project slug, root status and environment template used. List configs (environments) for a Doppler project
list_environments
g. development, staging, production, preview). Returns environment name, slug and whether it is the default environment. List Doppler environment types
list_projects
Optionally filter by workspace slug. Each project contains configs (environments) and secrets. Returns project name, slug, description, and creation date. List Doppler projects
list_secrets
Returns each secret's name, computed value (with environment fallbacks applied), visibility status. Provide the project_slug and config_name. List all secrets for a Doppler config
list_workspaces
A workspace is the top-level organizational unit in Doppler that groups projects. Returns workspace name, slug and creation date. List all Doppler workspaces
Example Prompts for Doppler in Windsurf
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Windsurf agent to start working with Doppler immediately.
"Show me all configs for my 'backend-api' project."
"Update the DATABASE_URL secret in my prod config to point to the new database."
