Windsurf

Windsurf reads MCP servers from its mcp_config.json.

The easy way: open MCP for Tally, go to Connect AI apps and click Add beside Windsurf. The app writes the settings below for you, keeps a backup of the file, and never touches your other entries.

By hand

Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpfortally": {
      "command": "C:\\Users\\<you>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\MCP for Tally\\runtime\\node.exe",
      "args": ["C:\\Users\\<you>\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\MCP for Tally\\app\\mcpfortally.js", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Mac: ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpfortally": {
      "command": "/Applications/MCP for Tally.app/Contents/MacOS/mcpfortally",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Open Windsurf's settings, then Cascade, then MCP servers, and press refresh.
