to Windsurf
Learn how to connect BasicOps to Windsurf and start using 12 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the BasicOps MCP Server?
Connect your BasicOps account to any AI agent and take full control of your project management and team collaboration workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Project & Section Orchestration — List and manage your entire project hierarchy programmatically, including creating new project sections (phases) in real-time
- Task Lifecycle Management — Programmatically create and update tasks, monitoring status transitions, due dates, and high-fidelity descriptions directly through your agent
- Team Coordination Intelligence — Access complete directories of team members and retrieve communication history within tasks to maintain perfectly coordinated context
- Workflow Automation — Programmatically manage project sections to organize your team's workflow into high-fidelity sprints or operational phases
- Workspace Visibility — Access high-fidelity metadata for your workspace and monitor active webhooks directly through your agent for instant operational reporting
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your Personal Access Token from your BasicOps settings (Settings > API)
3. Start managing your team's productivity from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual toggling between project tabs or missing task deadlines. Your AI acts as your dedicated project coordinator and task architect.
Who is this for?
- Project Managers — instantly retrieve project summaries and update task statuses using natural language commands
- Team Leads — monitor team bandwidth and manage project sections without leaving your creative workspace
- Operations Leads — automate the oversight of workspace metadata and task distribution through simple AI queries

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my BasicOps Personal Access Token?
Log in to your account, navigate to Settings > API, and generate a new Personal Access Token for your integration.
What is a Project Section via AI?
Sections allow your agent to group related tasks into specific phases, sprints, or categories within a larger project programmatically.
How do I list team members programmatically?
Use the list_users tool to retrieve your complete organizational directory including high-fidelity names and email addresses.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
