Multi-step habit and task updates in Windsurf

You can run `track_habit_completion` autonomously through Windsurf's Cascade to log your daily routines the second you finish a coding session. Instead of forcing you to prompt for every single update, Cascade pulls structural metadata from Lunatask using `list_tasks_metadata` and modifies your pipeline using `update_existing_task` in one autonomous run.

Secure task creation via Cascade's planner

Using `create_new_task` allows Windsurf's Cascade to draft fresh items under specific area IDs based on your active editor context. Because the Lunatask MCP Server works directly with Windsurf's local execution model, the plaintext you type to Cascade is handled locally before the REST API encrypts the metadata.

Context-aware daily journaling inside Windsurf

The `create_journal_entry` tool lets Windsurf's Cascade automatically draft your developer logs inside your encrypted Lunatask workspace. Cascade inspects your active Windsurf session, matches your git diffs against your board, and uses `list_notes_metadata` to verify your Lunatask structure while keeping your actual journal content private.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Lunatask MCP in Windsurf

Windsurf runs this MCP Server locally, meaning your private Lunatask decryption keys never leave your machine. While tools like `list_tasks_metadata` only return encrypted structural metadata to protect your privacy, Windsurf's Cascade can still write tasks in plaintext because the encryption happens at the API boundary.

Yes, Cascade can chain multiple operations together to prune your list by reading your Lunatask structure, identifying stale items, and running `delete_task` sequentially without requiring you to approve every single deletion.

Open your Windsurf settings and add the server configuration to your local `mcp_config.json` file so Cascade can immediately call `list_tasks_metadata` on your encrypted Lunatask database.

No, Cascade is designed to work with structural constraints, using `get_task_metadata` to read status and priority even when the raw task names are hidden behind Lunatask's local encryption.

The integration only touches encrypted task metadata, habit completion timestamps, and structural note headers, keeping your raw Lunatask journal text and note contents completely hidden from Windsurf's external servers.
