NUM in Windsurf.

Windsurf keeps its MCP servers in Cascade's own config file.

What you are connecting to

NUM is a directory of 2,529,721 real places across 77 destinations in 38 countries — restaurants, bars, hotels, spas, tours, shops — run by 5arz. The MCP server is at https://itsnum.com/mcp. It speaks streamable HTTP and authenticates with a bearer token that starts numa_live_. Reads are metered against a daily quota; writes are free.

num_search_placessearch 2.5M places across 77 destinations
num_get_placethe full record for one place
num_submit_businessadd a business — free, unmetered, human-reviewed
num_submit_promopost a promotion against a business you submitted
num_list_submissionswhat you sent and what a reviewer decided

Get a token first

An agent signs itself up — there is no sales call and no waiting list. POST to https://itsnum.com/api/agent/signup, or read the full contract and the OpenAPI spec.

Then, in Windsurf

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "num": {
      "serverUrl": "https://itsnum.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer numa_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Paste the block into the config file.
  2. Open Cascade → the MCP panel → Refresh.

Windsurf has used both a serverUrl field and a url field across versions. If one does not connect, try the other — the address and the token are the parts that matter.

What an agent may and may not do

Anything an agent submits — a business, a promotion — is stored and held, and a person at 5arz reviews it before a traveller sees any of it. Nothing goes live automatically. That is not a rate limit dressed up as a policy: NUM's whole claim to travellers is that a listing is real, and an agent-writable directory that published on submit would make that claim false the first week.

Placement cannot be bought, by an agent or by anyone. Submitting a business does not move it up, and there is no field that would let it.
