How to Use the Infisical MCP in Windsurf

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

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers block. Alternatively, use the Settings UI under Cascade to paste your Vinkius endpoint token. Once saved, the MCP integration auto-discovers the tools and lets you start querying secrets immediately.

Q: How does Windsurf handle multiple environments configured in Infisical?

Yes, Windsurf uses the listenvironments tool to find all configured environments. This lets Cascade understand whether to target dev, staging, or prod when fetching or updating keys.

Let Windsurf autonomously manage, rotate, and audit your Infisical secrets directly inside your active workspace.

Windsurf Cascade chains complete secret rotations

Cascade doesn't stop at telling you an Infisical secret is expired. It reads your Windsurf workspace context, pulls the current configuration using `get_secret`, and plans the entire rotation path. You set the goal, and the Windsurf agent executes the update across your dev, staging, or production environments without requiring a manual prompt for every single step. The Windsurf agent checks which environments exist via `list_environments`, writes the new key-value pair with `create_secret`, and cleans up stale configurations using `delete_secret`. This MCP Server integration means Cascade handles the dirty work of Infisical secret lifecycle management while you focus on writing code.

Multi-environment audit and verification

Keeping track of who changed what in your Infisical secret store usually requires leaving your Windsurf editor. With this MCP Server, Windsurf queries your configuration history on the fly. Cascade pulls live operational data so you can see exactly which keys are active in each path. The Windsurf agent runs `list_secrets` to compare active keys across paths, then calls `list_audit_logs` to verify recent modifications. If an Infisical environment variable mismatch breaks your local Windsurf build, your agent finds the exact delta without you opening a browser tab.

Machine identity and access compliance

Securing automated pipelines requires knowing which machine identities have access to your Infisical vault. Windsurf accesses this metadata directly, letting you audit organizational access configurations without switching Cascade to an external command-line interface. By invoking `list_identities`, Cascade maps out every machine identity configured in your Infisical organization. If you need to verify project scope or check configuration parameters, the Windsurf agent runs `get_project_info` to confirm everything matches your team's security policies.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Infisical MCP in Windsurf

Open your `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file and add the server configuration under the `mcpServers` block. Alternatively, use the Settings UI under Cascade to paste your Vinkius endpoint token. Once saved, the MCP integration auto-discovers the tools and lets you start querying secrets immediately.

Yes, Cascade can update keys if your Vinkius token has the correct write permissions. It uses `update_secret` to modify existing values or `create_secret` for new ones. You can always instruct Cascade to ask for confirmation before executing writes to sensitive environments like production.

Yes, Windsurf uses the `list_environments` tool to find all configured environments. This lets Cascade understand whether to target dev, staging, or prod when fetching or updating keys.

The tool returns an error indicating the key is missing. Cascade will typically recognize this failure, stop the execution chain, and ask if you want to run `list_secrets` to find the correct key name instead.

Vinkius runs the server in an isolated, zero-trust V8 sandbox that destroys itself after execution. Your raw Infisical secrets and audit logs are never cached or stored on Vinkius disks. All communication between Windsurf and the MCP Server goes through secure, encrypted channels using ephemeral tokens.
