How to connect the System Process Observer MCP Tool to Windsurf
Monitors active OS processes and identifies infrastructure port usage (Docker, Redis, Node, etc.). This guide provides the exact configuration required to load the list_processes tool inside Windsurf.
Step 1: Open the configuration file
Locate and open your Windsurf configuration file at the following path:
macOS / Linux
~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.jsonWindows
%USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.jsonStep 2: Add the server config
Copy and paste the following JSON snippet into the file. Save the file and restart Windsurf.
mcp_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"agenticstore": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["agentic-store-mcp", "--tools", "list_processes"]
}
}
}Step 3: Try it out
Once restarted, ask Windsurf something like this to trigger the tool:
"Check if Postgres and Docker are running on my machine."
