Windsurf’s Cascade agent supports MCP. UniversalBench plugs in like any other server, but with one less thing to configure since there is no header.

​
Setup

1

Get your personal MCP URL

Sign up at universalbench.dev and copy your URL.
2

Open Windsurf MCP settings

Click the hammer icon in Cascade, then “Configure”, then “Open mcp_config.json”.
3

Add UniversalBench

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "universalbench": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.universalbench.dev/u/ub_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    }
  }
}
No headers block. Less surface area for misconfigs.
4

Refresh Cascade

Click “Refresh” in the MCP panel. UniversalBench tools appear.

​
What you can do now

Cascade can now run real pipelines:
Migrate the database schema. Add a last_active_at column to users. Use a safe deploy so we can roll back if anything breaks.
Cascade uses db_select to inspect the current schema, safe_deploy to push the migration with a smoke test, and rolls back automatically if the migration test fails.

​
Tips

Windsurf’s Cascade supports parallel tool calls. Combine with UniversalBench’s parallel_blocks for maximum throughput on multi step workflows.
