How to Use the Nozbe MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect the Nozbe MCP server to Windsurf Cascade?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the Nozbe server under the mcpServers key so Cascade can access your boards. Windsurf also lets you add it through the Cascade settings UI with a single click.

Q: Can Windsurf update my Nozbe tasks without asking?

Yes, Cascade uses the updatetask tool to modify your Nozbe boards autonomously when you set a high-level goal in Windsurf. It reads your project structure and updates statuses as it finishes code changes.

Q: Does this Nozbe integration support multi-team setups in Windsurf?

It does, as Cascade uses listteams and getteam to identify your active Nozbe workspaces and routes your Windsurf tasks correctly. This prevents tasks from getting lost in the wrong team dashboard.

Q: What happens if Cascade fails to find a Nozbe project in Windsurf?

If getproject returns an error, Cascade halts the Windsurf session and asks you for the correct Nozbe board ID. You can also tell it to run createproject to build a new board on the fly.

Connect Nozbe to Windsurf to let Cascade build projects and update tasks autonomously.

Perplexity

Cascade chains project setup instantly

The Nozbe MCP server lets Cascade build out entire Nozbe project structures in Windsurf in one shot. When you tell Windsurf to start a new sprint, Cascade hits `create_project` first, grabs that new Nozbe project ID, and immediately fires off multiple `create_task` calls to populate your board. You don't have to prompt Windsurf for each individual Nozbe task creation. Cascade handles the dependencies, checking your Nozbe team context with `get_team` so everything lands in the right Windsurf workspace without manual intervention.

Automatic task updates in Windsurf

The Nozbe MCP server connects your local Windsurf workspace directly to your Nozbe task manager. As you write code in Windsurf, Cascade uses `list_tasks` to find the exact Nozbe work item matching your current branch name. Once Cascade finishes the code changes, it runs `update_task` to mark the Nozbe item as completed. It even pulls up `list_comments` to log the final Windsurf commit hash directly on the Nozbe card before you push.

Contextual triage from the editor

The Nozbe MCP server helps Cascade investigate and log Windsurf test failures directly into Nozbe. Cascade fetches your Nozbe user profile with `get_me` to verify your permissions, then searches existing Nozbe reports using `list_tasks` inside Windsurf. If Cascade finds a matching bug, it appends the Windsurf test log to the discussion using `list_comments`. If it's a new issue, Cascade uses `create_task` to file it under your Nozbe triage board with zero manual typing from you inside Windsurf.
