Setup

Add Sequel to Windsurf

One config block is all it takes. Replace sql_your_api_key with a key from Settings → API Keys, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sequel": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.sequel.sh/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sql_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Frequently asked questions

Where does the Windsurf MCP config file go?

Place your MCP configuration at ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. Use the `serverUrl` key (not `url`) as shown in the config above — Windsurf uses a slightly different field name than other clients.

Does this work with both Cascade and Windsurf Chat?

Yes. Sequel tools are available in both Windsurf Chat (single-turn) and Cascade (multi-step agentic flows). Cascade is especially powerful because it can chain multiple Sequel tool calls together.

How do I verify Sequel is connected in Windsurf?

Open Windsurf settings and navigate to the MCP section. You should see 'sequel' listed as a connected server with a green status indicator. If it's red, check that your API key is correct and the URL is reachable.

Can my whole team use this setup?

Each team member should have their own Sequel API key (create them in Settings → API Keys). The MCP config file is personal (in the home directory), so each developer configures it independently.
