Add Sprites to Windsurf
Available on Windsurf on macOS, Linux and Windows. You need a Sprites account with your channels already connected — the connector acts on that connection, so Windsurf never handles a platform credential.
Open the Windsurf MCP config
Windsurf keeps its servers in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, or %USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json on Windows.
Windsurf~/.codeium/windsurfmcp_config.jsonAdd Sprites with serverUrl
A remote server uses serverUrl in place of command. Windsurf also interpolates ${env:VAR_NAME} inside serverUrl and headers, so nothing secret has to be written into the file.
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json{ "mcpServers": { "sprites": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.sprites.ai/mcp" } } }Sign in and pick your tools
Reload Windsurf and complete the Sprites consent screen from the Cascade MCP panel. Cascade loads at most 100 tools at once across every server, so switch off the ones a project does not need rather than letting the limit choose for you.

What Windsurf can reach
All 15 channels run through the one connector. Rows with a guide go deeper on that pairing; the rest are covered on the channel's own page.
| Channel | What Windsurf does with it | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Google Ads | Account performance available to Cascade while the landing page is open. | Channel → |
| Meta | Creative fatigue per ad, learning-phase checks, new hooks previewed in the real placement. | Channel → |
| Cost per lead by job function, ABM account lists, sponsored content that converts. | Channel → | |
| TikTok | CPA and CTR for every ad, the next creative batch, and spend moved before the CPA drifts. | Channel → |
| Community targeting, subreddit-native copy, and the ad groups spending without converting. | Channel → | |
| GA4 | Live GA4 beside the instrumentation, which is where a tracking bug is cheapest to find. | Channel → |
| PostHog | Funnels, retention and trends by campaign, read-only, beside the spend that bought them. | Channel → |
| SEO | Search Console evidence in the editor that owns the template. | Channel → |
| AEO | Who gets cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity for your prompts, and the pages that change it. | Channel → |
| Shopify | SEO titles across the whole catalogue, collection pages, and product copy that ships on approval. | Channel → |
| GBP | Performance per location, the listings missing fields, and posts that keep the map pack. | Channel → |
| WordPress | Researched posts, page edits and metadata written into WordPress as drafts you approve. | Channel → |
| Webflow | Researched CMS posts, page metadata and copy edits, each an approval before it applies. | Channel → |
| Framer | Researched posts and SEO fields written into your Framer CMS, added after you approve. | Channel → |
| Zoho CRM | Pipeline and lead-source reporting beside ad spend, with approved lead, deal and note writes. | Channel → |
Marketing workflows worth doing in Windsurf
Cascade can hold the marketing tools alongside the codebase, with per-tool toggles so only the ones a task needs are active.
Check tracking against live analytics
Read what GA4 recorded next to the code that sends it, without a deploy in between.
Fix pages with Search Console open
The URLs that lost position, available while the template that produces them is on screen.
Keep only the tools a task needs
Cascade caps active tools at a hundred, so switch on the channel you are working in and leave the rest off.
Build against real account shape
Develop an internal marketing utility with the live account answering rather than a fixture.
Permissions, approvals and authentication
You sign in with OAuth and the connector acts on your workspace. No API keys in a config file, no shared service account, and revoking the grant kills the very next call.
| Action | When it happens | What that covers |
|---|---|---|
| Read an account | On request | Spend, performance, search terms, rankings, catalogue |
| Draft a change | On request | Campaigns, creative, budgets, pages and posts |
| Apply a change | Only on your approval | Windsurf returns the change as text; the approval waits for you in Sprites |
| Spend money | Only on your approval | New campaigns start paused unless you say otherwise |
| Revoke access | Instantly | The next call after a revoke fails, not the one after that |
Windsurf MCP questions
Some tools never show up.
Cascade loads at most 100 tools across every configured server and drops the rest without saying so. Disable servers or individual tools you are not using.
Where does the config live?
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, or %USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json on Windows.
Can I keep secrets out of the file?
Yes — serverUrl and headers both support ${env:VAR_NAME} interpolation. With Sprites you generally have nothing to put there anyway, since it authenticates over OAuth.
Can it change my ad accounts on its own?
No. Reads happen on request; every write comes back as a change you approve first, and new campaigns start paused. Nothing is applied because a model decided it should be.
Does Windsurf have channel-specific guides?
Not yet. Windsurf starts as a hub, and a channel guide gets its own page when the pair shows real demand or the workflow differs enough from every other editor to be worth its own URL.
