How to Use the Elemeno MCP in Windsurf

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

Open /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json or use the Cascade settings UI. Add the server details under the mcpServers object and hit refresh in the panel.

Q: How does Windsurf know my Elemeno API limits?

Cascade runs getelemenoaccountmetadata to check your current usage. This pulls your account limits directly into the IDE context to prevent rate limiting.

Q: What happens if a singleton page changes?

You just ask your agent to check the live state. It runs getsingletoncontent and updates your local configuration files to match the new global settings.

Give Cascade read access to your Elemeno CMS data directly inside Windsurf via this MCP Server.

Windsurf MCP Server for Elemeno

The `list_content_collections` tool lets Cascade read your CMS structure without any hand-holding. When you ask it to build a front-end component, it hits this endpoint to find the right data model. Then it chains into `get_collection_details` to map out the exact fields before writing a single line of React. You just watch the files update.

Audit CMS volume instantly

The `quick_content_volume_audit` tool gives you raw numbers when content migrations get messy. Instead of clicking through a web dashboard, your agent pulls the stats right in the editor. If something looks off, it digs deeper using `list_collection_items` to find the missing entries. It handles the pagination and presents the missing data in your terminal output.

Search and pull published items

The `list_published_content` tool grabs live entries to populate your local environment. Hardcoding test data is a massive waste of time, so Windsurf pulls real production content instead. Need a specific page? It fires `search_collection_content` using a slug keyword, pulls the JSON via `get_collection_item_details`, and injects it straight into your mock data files.
