Connect Windsurf to Skillset
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.
- Open Cascade’s MCP configuration and add the remote server entry below.
- Create a personal connection key on Skillset’s Connections page. Replace YOUR_SKILLSET_KEY locally; keep it out of shared files and repositories.
- Save the configuration, refresh the MCP tools, and ask Cascade to list your Skillset skills.

}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.
