Connect Windsurf

Add the looot MCP server to Windsurf, and check it works. Browser sign-in is not confirmed on this client.

Windsurf reaches looot’s catalog, balance and runs over MCP, through a config file.

Before you start you need a looot account. The runs you make spend the organization’s balance, so top up before your first paid run. See Before your first run.

Sign in with the browser

The server URL is https://api.looot.ai/mcp. Nothing to copy: you sign in on looot.ai, pick the organization to bill and click Connect.

~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "looot": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.looot.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Headless: a token in the header

Only for CI and machines with no browser. Create an agent token in Settings and send it as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Never commit it.

Headless: with a header

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "looot": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.looot.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <agent token from looot.ai Settings>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Notes

• To open the file: in the Cascade panel, click the Actions menu at the top right, then Open MCP config file in the MCPs section.
• Windsurf’s docs now live under Devin Desktop and list ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json on Windows). If your version still reads ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, put the same block there.
• There is no MCP marketplace or one-click install for Cascade.
• Labels may differ slightly in your version, and the app may be called Devin Desktop.

Check it works

Ask the agent to call balance or catalog_overview. Both are free. A working connection answers with your available balance, or the catalog’s categories and job counts.

Help me connect the looot MCP server https://api.looot.ai/mcp to Windsurf. Go one step at a time and wait for me to confirm. After each step, ask me for a screenshot, check it, and tell me exactly what to do next. Ask me to hide any token first. Check my MCP config file with me as we go. Steps: 1. In the Cascade panel, open the Actions menu and click Open MCP config file. 2. Add looot under mcpServers with serverUrl set to the URL, and save. 3. Start looot's sign-in and click Allow. Use browser sign-in. If it fails, tell me to make a token at looot.ai/connect under Advanced and keep it in the config file only, never in this chat. At the end, ask looot for my balance, run ipinfo-lite on 8.8.8.8, and tell me both results.

What you see when you connect

If browser sign-in starts, the browser opens looot.ai and shows the consent page: which organization to bill, which scopes to grant and how long to stay connected. See The consent page.
