Windsurf rescans MCP configs on session start. Open the Cascade panel · "Restart MCP servers" to refresh without a full relaunch.

Symptom
Fix
Cascade says "no MCP servers available"
Config parse error. Run
cat ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json | jq . to confirm the JSON is valid. Trailing commas are the usual culprit.401 on every tool call
Bearer header malformed. Check there's a space between
Bearer and the token, and that you haven't wrapped the token in additional quotes.Dock tools disappear mid-session
Windsurf occasionally drops MCP connections on long sessions. "Restart MCP servers" from the Cascade panel reconnects without losing conversation state.
