Using Windsurf? Give it more tools.
Create MCP servers from any app in 60 seconds. Add them to Windsurf's MCP config.
Windsurf (by Codeium) is an AI-powered IDE with deep MCP integration. Its Cascade agent can use MCP servers as external tools to fetch data, trigger actions, and pull context from connected services. But it needs those MCP servers to exist first.
DataFaucet creates MCP servers from any website or API. Browse a site for 30 seconds, deploy, and get a hosted endpoint. Then add it to Windsurf's MCP configuration:
// ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-server": {
"serverUrl": "https://datafaucet.dev/api/mcp/your-server-id/sse"
}
}
}DataFaucet is the fastest way to create custom MCP servers that Windsurf can use. No SDK, no API docs, no backend code.
They create demand. We create supply.
Pick any URL. Browse for 30 seconds. Get a hosted MCP endpoint your AI can call immediately.
No credit card. No code. Free tier includes 3 servers.
