Open MCP management in Cascade
Click the MCPs icon in the top-right menu of the Cascade panel, or go to Windsurf Settings → Cascade → MCP Servers.

Troubleshooting
If Monk does not appear, confirm it is installed and MCP is enabled for this workspace, then reopen the project. Enterprise users may need MCP enabled by an admin before servers become visible.More troubleshooting
