How to Use the Mod.io MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Windsurf handle Mod.io user authentication?

You configure your Mod.io API token inside Windsurf's mcpconfig.json file. Once connected, Vinkius handles the secure transport, allowing this MCP server to execute authenticated actions like getme or getmysubscriptions automatically.

Q: Can Windsurf update my Mod.io ratings?

Yes, Cascade uses the ratemod tool to submit your feedback directly. It checks your historical ratings using getmyratings before pushing new feedback to prevent duplicate submissions.

Q: Can I download mod files directly to my workspace using Windsurf?

Definitely. Cascade chains getmodfiles with getmodfile to locate and download the correct assets to your workspace. It parses the file paths and unpacks them into your game directory in one go.

Q: How does this MCP server secure my Mod.io wallet and purchase data?

The server accesses your Mod.io monetization data using getmywallets and getmypurchases over an MCP server hosted in Vinkius's zero-trust sandbox. Your financial tokens and purchase history are never stored or logged on Vinkius; they pass straight through to your local Windsurf instance.

Let Windsurf autonomously crawl Mod.io, fetch mod files, and handle your game subscriptions in a single Cascade run.

Automate Mod.io game discovery in Windsurf

The `get_games` tool connects your Windsurf agent directly to the Mod.io platform. Cascade runs this tool to grab the complete directory of titles, inspects game metadata using `get_game`, and immediately grabs active player metrics using `get_game_stats`. You do not have to copy-paste Mod.io game IDs across Windsurf prompts. Cascade reads the output, spots the exact game ID you need, and chains the next step to fetch related mods without waiting for your permission.

Bulk subscribe and manage mod files

The `subscribe_mod` tool lets your Windsurf agent add Mod.io community creations to your account. Cascade triggers this alongside `get_mod_files` to locate the exact Mod.io download packages for your local setup. If a download fails, Cascade calls `get_mod_file` to pull the specific Mod.io version. Windsurf manages your entire local mod folder by cross-referencing your active Mod.io subscriptions with `get_my_subscriptions`.

Build custom mod collections

The `add_collection` tool allows Cascade to group Mod.io creations together. Cascade organizes your curated Mod.io lists by pushing new mods into collections with `add_mod` and editing metadata using `edit_mod`. Windsurf builds a clean, structured mod list without you manually organizing files on disk. Cascade checks your collection status via `get_collection_mods` and keeps everything synced with your Mod.io profile.

Setup guide

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