Connect Windsurf to Skillset

Quick answer

Configure a remote HTTP server in Cascade’s MCP settings. Use a personal Skillset key if your client needs header authentication.

One connection. Three steps.

  1. Open Cascade’s MCP configuration and add the remote server entry below.
  2. Create a personal connection key on Skillset’s Connections page. Replace YOUR_SKILLSET_KEY locally; keep it out of shared files and repositories.
  3. Save the configuration, refresh the MCP tools, and ask Cascade to list your Skillset skills.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillset": {
      "serverUrl": "https://buyskillset.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_SKILLSET_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf documentation now lives under Devin Desktop. Keep the key private; revoking it stops future access from clients using it. Official Windsurf documentation ↗

Check that your skill is being used

Ask: “List my Skillset skills. Load the skill I choose, then tell me its name and version before starting.” Look for a successful use_skill tool result in your AI app. Loading instructions does not mean the AI has completed the task.

Will this create a local skill file?

No. Skillset shares the selected instructions through MCP. Your AI app may display them as a tool result rather than in its native Skills folder.

Do I reconnect after buying another skill?

No. Ask your AI to refresh the list. Skillset checks your account’s current access each time it loads a skill.

Can this publish to Shopify or run ads?

A skill supplies the workflow. Your AI also needs separately connected tools and account permissions. Review the product page, campaign, and budget before approving a launch.
