Windsurf can cut your video.

Cascade runs long, multi-step work without being nudged — which is exactly the shape of an edit.

Setup takes a minute: add the server, then pair with the code in the editor header. After that Windsurf has all 59 tools.

Setup

Add Frapea to Windsurf

  1. 1

    Edit the MCP config

    Windsurf calls the field serverUrl, which is where most configs copied from a Cursor guide go wrong.
    ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "frapea": {
      "serverUrl": "https://app.frapea.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  2. 2

    Refresh the server list

    Open the MCP panel in Cascade and refresh. Frapea's tools should appear without restarting the editor.

Then, the same for every client

Pair Windsurf with the editor

  1. 1Open the editor and click Connect an agent in the header. It shows an eight-character code.
  2. 2Paste the whole line into Windsurf — the sentence, not just the code. It tells the agent which tool to call.
  3. 3Good for ten minutes, and once. If it has expired, read a fresh one.

Nothing to sign up for, and no API key on either side. The endpoint is https://app.frapea.com/mcp.

When it doesn't take

Two things go wrong, and it is almost always one of them.

1The server is listed but has no tools
url instead of serverUrl. Windsurf accepts the file and connects to nothing.
2Nothing appears at all
The config lives under ~/.codeium/, not ~/.windsurf/ — the directory kept the old company name.

What you just handed it

59 tools, and one of them is looking at the result.

Windsurf now has the whole editor: it cuts, captions, sources footage it does not have, writes the titles as code, and renders frames back to itself to check the work before it says it is finished.

Using something else?

Any client that speaks MCP can drive Frapea. These are written out.
