Automate Proxy Management in Windsurf

Windsurf figures out the steps needed to keep your proxies running. You can tell it to check your usage and then authorize a new IP if you're hitting limits, all without manual prompting. It uses tools like `get_account_profile` and `authorize_new_ip` to manage access automatically. It doesn't stop at simple checks either. Need to see every proxy? Windsurf handles pagination using `list_proxies`, pulling the IP, port, credentials, and health status into context for follow-up actions.

Track Webshare Performance with the MCP Server

You need to know if your proxy setup is costing you bandwidth. The MCP Server provides historical data via `get_bandwidth_stats`, showing exact request totals over time. This helps you plan when and where you run big jobs. Beyond just usage, it checks your replacement status using `get_replacement_quota`. If an IP dies mid-job, Windsurf can automatically trigger a fix by running `request_proxy_replacement`.

Control Authorized Webshare IPs in Windsurf

Sometimes you gotta lock down the perimeter. You can see who's allowed onto your network using `list_authorized_ips`. If someone shouldn't have access, Windsurf runs `revoke_ip_authorization` instantly. Setting up new entry points is simple; just run `authorize_new_ip` to whitelist a specific IP address for proxy use. This makes sure only trusted sources can hit your services.

Common questions about Webshare MCP in Windsurf

Windsurf treats the MCP Server like another tool in its chain. You set a goal—say, 'Keep my bandwidth quota above 80%.' Windsurf figures out if it needs to run `get_account_profile` or maybe even change your proxies using `request_proxy_replacement`.

Absolutely. If you need to list all IPs, check the quota, and then export that whole thing for record keeping, Windsurf chains those steps together using `list_proxies` and `export_proxy_list`. It manages the context shift so you don't have to.

The MCP Server exposes proxy details, including IPs, ports, and credentials. This allows your AI client to manage access by checking the status using `list_proxies`.

You just call `get_proxy_configuration`. It pulls all the live settings, letting you know exactly what kind of backbone network and rotation scheme Webshare is using right now.

The MCP Server manages IP addresses and bandwidth statistics. You control which IPs are whitelisted via `authorize_new_ip` or removed entirely using `revoke_ip_authorization`.
