Windsurf's Cascade agent speaks MCP. Point it at AIgateway's MCP server and Cascade can list the live catalog, read any model's invocation schema, and call any modality without leaving the editor — 1000+ models behind one key.
Windsurf → Settings → Cascade → MCP Servers → Add (or edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json directly). Use the Streamable HTTP transport with your AIgateway key.
After a refresh, Cascade lists the AIgateway tools. Ask it to `list_models` for a modality, then `get_model` to read the exact request schema before it calls one — no guessing.
