Add the Bitbucket MCP server to Windsurf

Config last verified Jun 1, 2026

The exact config to run Bitbucket in Windsurf — paste it in, restart, and the tools load.

Prerequisites

  • Windsurf installed.

Setup

1. Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

On Windows the file lives at %USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json.

2. Add this configuration

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bitbucket": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "bitbucket-mcp@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BITBUCKET_URL": "<BITBUCKET_URL>",
        "BITBUCKET_USERNAME": "<BITBUCKET_USERNAME>",
        "BITBUCKET_PASSWORD": "<BITBUCKET_PASSWORD>",
        "BITBUCKET_TOKEN": "<BITBUCKET_TOKEN>",
        "BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE": "<BITBUCKET_WORKSPACE>",
        "BITBUCKET_ENABLE_DANGEROUS": "<BITBUCKET_ENABLE_DANGEROUS>"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Windsurf and confirm the Bitbucket tools load.

Gotchas

Windsurf's Cascade reads MCP servers from an "mcpServers" object in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. Unlike most clients, remote servers are configured with the "serverUrl" field rather than "url", so a config that uses "url" silently fails to connect. Native remote transport is supported without an OAuth flow.
