How to Use the Traefik Proxy MCP in Windsurf

Q: What happens if I need to check raw configuration data with Traefik Proxy and Windsurf?

You can use the getrawdata tool. This pulls the entire runtime configuration as a raw data payload, letting your agent analyze every setting that's currently active on the proxy.

Perplexity

Inspect all proxy components.

Windsurf uses this server to map out your entire proxy setup. It can pull a full list of all entrypoints using `list_entrypoints`, then follow up by grabbing details for a specific HTTP service with `get_http_service`. This lets your agent build a complete picture of where traffic is hitting and what services it reaches. You'll see the flow automatically. If you need to check UDP settings, Windsurf can list those routers using `list_udp_routers` and then examine specific middleware rules with `get_tcp_middleware`. It handles the multi-step process for you.

Analyze service routing logic.

Need to know how traffic routes? Your agent can start by listing all available HTTP routers via `list_http_routers`. After that, it drills down into specific configurations. For instance, if a router is misbehaving, you can check its details using `get_http_router` and cross-reference it with the associated service definition using `get_http_service`. This pattern lets Windsurf figure out exactly why traffic isn't reaching where it should. You tell it the goal—like 'figure out my backend connection'—and it runs the necessary tool sequence to give you the answer.

Audit middleware rules across protocols.

Traefik Proxy manages different types of rules, and this server lets your agent check them all. To start, Windsurf can list HTTP middlewares with `list_http_middlewares`. If you're dealing with raw TCP traffic, it also lists those using `list_tcp_middlewares`. This comprehensive view means you don't have to jump between different tools. You set the goal—like 'check all rate limiting rules'—and Windsurf runs the sequence: list HTTP middlewares, check details for a specific one with `get_http_middleware`, and report back.

Setup guide

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

Common questions about Traefik Proxy MCP in Windsurf

You simply set your goal in the agent. For example, 'Show me all active routers.' Windsurf figures out that it needs to call `list_http_routers` and executes the tool automatically. You don't need to worry about the sequence.

Absolutely. The agent can list all configured UDP routers using `list_udp_routers` and then check for associated services or middleware rules. This is useful if you're diagnosing non-HTTP communication issues.

The server exposes the entire set of configuration metadata, including all router definitions (`list_http_routers`), service endpoints (`list_http_services`), and middleware details. Your agent reads this raw config data.

Yes. Vinkius hosts the server in an isolated sandbox environment. Authentication is handled via a single endpoint token, keeping your connection secure and scoped to the defined tools.

You can use the `get_rawdata` tool. This pulls the entire runtime configuration as a raw data payload, letting your agent analyze every setting that's currently active on the proxy.
