How to Use the NotCo MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can NotCo help me debug recipes in Windsurf?

Yes. You can use listformulations to see existing recipes and compare them against listnutritionalprofiles to find where your current batch falls short.

Use Giuseppe AI inside Windsurf to build plant-based recipes and analyze molecular profiles without leaving your editor.

Perplexity

Chain R&D tasks automatically

Windsurf Cascade reads your goal and runs multi-step sequences to generate new formulations. You define the target, and it calls `create_project` followed by `create_formulation` to build the recipe. It handles the logic between tools so you don't have to manually prompt every step. The agent observes the output of `analyze_nutrition` and adjusts parameters to meet your constraints.

Instant ingredient molecular lookups

Query the NotCo database directly from your code workspace to pull exact chemical structures. Use `get_ingredient` to pull data for specific proteins and fats. Windsurf displays these profiles in your context window immediately. You can cross-reference these with `search_flavor_matches` to see which plant combinations actually mimic dairy or meat.

Validate sensory profiles in the IDE

Run simulated taste tests on your current recipe iterations without needing a lab. The agent executes `run_sensory_test` and reports back the elasticity and flavor scores. This MCP Server provides the data you need to iterate fast. You see the results in your chat panel, allowing for real-time tweaks to your formulation strategy.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about NotCo MCP in Windsurf

It acts as a bridge to the Giuseppe AI engine. You connect the server in your MCP settings, and Windsurf exposes the 14 tools to Cascade.

Yes. You can use `list_formulations` to see existing recipes and compare them against `list_nutritional_profiles` to find where your current batch falls short.

Your formulations and ingredient data stay within the session. The server only transmits the specific payload required to complete the tool request.

It communicates with the NotCo API to fetch fresh data. You need a valid endpoint token to authorize these requests.

No. The server runs as a separate process in the V8 isolate sandbox. It only consumes resources when you explicitly trigger a tool.
