Windsurf Integration

BaseLayer works with Windsurf for both automatic capture of your conversations and MCP recall so Windsurf can search your memory.

​
Capture (automatic)

The BaseLayer desktop app automatically detects Windsurf conversations via its IDE watcher. No setup needed, just make sure the desktop app is running. Verify in Settings → IDE Watchers. You should see Windsurf listed.

​
Recall (MCP setup)

To give Windsurf access to your memory, add BaseLayer as an MCP server. The easiest way is through the Connections tab in the BaseLayer desktop app, which configures it automatically. To set it up manually, add this to your Windsurf MCP configuration (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json): 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "baselayer": {
      "url": "https://api.baselayer.id/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Restart Windsurf to activate the connection.

​
Verify

In a Windsurf chat session, try:
“What do you know about my current project?”
Windsurf should call ask_question and return knowledge from your memory.
With both capture and recall active, Windsurf becomes a fully integrated part of your knowledge workflow. Conversations are captured, and Windsurf can search your memory for context from all your AI tools.
