Add the Financial Modeling Prep MCP server to Windsurf

Config last verified Jun 1, 2026

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

Prerequisites

Windsurf installed.
FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN — Financial Modeling Prep API key. Can also be passed as the --fmp-token flag.

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": {
    "financial-modeling-prep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "financial-modeling-prep-mcp-server",
        "--fmp-token=YOUR_FMP_API_KEY"
      ],
      "env": {
        "FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<FMP_ACCESS_TOKEN>",
        "DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY": "<DYNAMIC_TOOL_DISCOVERY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Windsurf and confirm the Financial Modeling Prep 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.
