MentionsAPI MCP for Windsurf

1. Get an API key

Mint at /app/keys.

2. Add the MCP server

# ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mentionsapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@mentionsapi/mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "MENTIONSAPI_API_KEY": "lvk_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Windsurf

The Cascade panel will list mentionsapi under MCP servers. Ask Cascade to check brand mentions and it will call the MentionsAPI tools transparently.

Tools available

Same surface as the REST API: mentions_check, mentions_watch, mentions_discover, and mentions_compare. See /docs/api/check for the full mode/parameter reference.
