MCP Maintenance Log in Windsurf

Equipment maintenance log: assets, service entries with costs, and a due report computed from stored dates. You add each piece of equipment once - name, serial or asset tag, where it lives, the currency its costs are in - and it comes back with an AST-YYYY-NNNN id, a second asset with the same tag refused because a serial identifies one machine. maintenance_log records the work: the day, what was done, the cost in whole cents, who did it, and when the next service falls due, as a date or as an interval in days, never both, and a future work date is refused. maintenance_due is the report: what is overdue and by how many days, what falls due within the next N days (30 unless you say otherwise), what is scheduled later and what has no schedule at all, computed from the stored dates at the moment you ask, so the register cannot go stale. asset_history reads one asset's whole log in chronological order with the total spend in integer cents and the spend per technician, and maintenance_export hands a date range over as CSV or a Markdown summary per asset. An asset carrying a log cannot be removed without confirm: true, because removing it loses the record of work done; the AST number is never reissued.

Eight tools against Cascade's ceiling of 100, and it pairs naturally with mcp-asset-register, which depreciates the same machines for the books, and mcp-job-card, which logs the billable side of the same visit; budget the three at roughly 29 tools when you decide what else fits alongside them.

What you get in Windsurf

You sayTool
Add the combi boiler, serial SN-88-4412, at 14 Nowa Street flat 3, EUR.asset_add
Log the annual service on the 9th, 120.00 by Acme Heating, next due in 365 days.maintenance_log
What is overdue or coming due this month?maintenance_due

The contract suite drives the eight tools over real stdio: the fourth asset is refused and nothing is written, a duplicate tag is refused, next_due and interval_days together are refused, a logged asset needs confirm to remove, and the only files written are assets.json and counter.json. The due report is asserted as computed at call time: an interval becomes a date once, at log time, and nothing about overdue is stored.

Install it in Windsurf

The file is mcp_config.json, and the key inside it is mcpServers.

ScopePath
macOS, Windows and Linux~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

If you also run Claude Desktop, the shortest path there is one click: maintenance-log.mcpb from the latest release opens as an extension, with no JSON and no terminal. Windsurf reads its own config, so here it is:

The config block:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maintenance-log": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-servers/servers/maintenance-log/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

The node command above wants a built file. From a clone, once:

git clone https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers.git
cd mcp-servers && npm install
npm run build -w packages/mcp-license -w servers/maintenance-log

That writes servers/maintenance-log/dist/index.js, and its absolute path is the one argument the config needs.

The npm packages are not published yet, so the form below returns a 404 today. It is here because it is what the entry becomes the day the publish lands, with nothing else changed:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maintenance-log": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-maintenance-log"]
    }
  }
}

Save and reopen the MCP Servers list; Cascade picks it up without restarting the editor.

Nothing is published to npm yet, so the working install paths are the ones above: the .mcpb bundle from the latest release, a clone and build, or the hosted URL.

No install: the hosted endpoint

The same server runs at https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/maintenance-log over MCP streamable HTTP, no install. Mint a free token with curl https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/token, or use a Pro key. It has no filesystem, so a file comes back as a one-hour download link.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maintenance-log": {
      "url": "https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/maintenance-log",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <token>" }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf notes worth knowing first

Read this first: mcp_config.json applies to the legacy Cascade agent only. The Devin Local agent, the default for new tabs, takes its servers from the Devin CLI config files, so a correct entry here can still be invisible in a fresh tab. The other hard number is a cap: Cascade reaches at most 100 tools at once, and every enabled server spends from it.

Free: Three assets on the register, with logging work, the per-asset history with its total spend and CSV export free and unlimited on every tier. Removing an asset frees its slot, so the record is never metered. Pro is $19 once, verified offline.

Questions

Where does Windsurf keep its MCP config?

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, under mcpServers. Reach it from the MCPs icon at the top right of the Cascade panel, or Devin Settings, Cascade, MCP Servers.

I edited the file and a new tab still cannot see MCP Maintenance Log.

That file applies to the legacy Cascade agent only. The Devin Local agent, the default for new tabs, reads its servers from the Devin CLI config files instead. Check which agent the tab runs.

How many servers can I load at once?

Cascade reaches at most 100 tools at any one time, and every enabled server spends from that single budget. MCP Maintenance Log contributes 8 tools, so keep the enabled list short rather than counting servers.
