MCP Supplier List in Windsurf

A supplier directory that does not rot: contacts, terms, lead times, and when each record was last reviewed. You add each supplier once - the name, what they supply, who to contact and how, the payment terms, the lead time in days and notes - and it comes back with a SUP-YYYY-NNNN id, and every record carries the date it was last reviewed. supplier_list reads the directory A to Z by name with a category filter and a free-text search across every field, notes included; supplier_update changes only the fields you pass; supplier_mark_reviewed stamps the record as checked against reality, and a review dated in the future is refused. supplier_due_review is the report that keeps the directory from rotting: every record not reviewed in the last N days, 90 unless you say otherwise, most overdue first, and a record never reviewed is always due whatever its age. A second record carrying a name already in the directory is refused, because two records of one supplier cannot be told apart; a partial name matching more than one supplier is refused with the candidates rather than resolved to the first. supplier_export hands the directory over as CSV or a Markdown table, and the SUP number is never reissued.

Ten tools against Cascade's ceiling of 100, and it pairs naturally with mcp-billing-docs, whose purchase orders name these suppliers, and mcp-invoice, which bills the clients the supplies become; budget the three at roughly 32 tools when you decide what else fits alongside them.

What you get in Windsurf

You sayTool
Add Shenzhen Box Co, packaging: Maria Chen, sales@shenzhenbox.example, Net 30, 21 days lead time, minimum order 500 units.supplier_add
Which of my supplier records have gone stale?supplier_due_review
Export the packaging suppliers as CSV.supplier_export

The contract suite drives the ten tools over real stdio: the free cap refuses the eleventh supplier and writes nothing, removing one frees the slot, a duplicate name and an ambiguous partial reference are both refused, and the only files written are suppliers.json and counter.json. The due-review semantics are asserted on the store: a record never reviewed is always due, and a 2020 stamp outranks a record added today.

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: supplier-list.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": {
    "supplier-list": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-servers/servers/supplier-list/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/supplier-list

That writes servers/supplier-list/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": {
    "supplier-list": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-supplier-list"]
    }
  }
}

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/supplier-list 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": {
    "supplier-list": {
      "url": "https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/supplier-list",
      "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: Ten suppliers, with adding, listing, reading, updating, removing, review stamps and CSV export free and unlimited on every tier. Removing a supplier you no longer buy from frees its slot, so the directory itself 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 Supplier List.

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 Supplier List contributes 10 tools, so keep the enabled list short rather than counting servers.
