Use TypeUI with Windsurf
Follow this guide to connect Windsurf to TypeUI while Cascade edits UI in your project.
Open Windsurf
Open the project where you want Cascade to build UI.
Add TypeUI to Windsurf
Click the button below to open TypeUI in the Windsurf MCP registry:
Install in Windsurf
If the button does not open Windsurf:
Open Windsurf Settings → Cascade → MCP Servers and add it manually.
Add this configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"typeui": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.typeui.sh/mcp"
}
}
}
Windsurf uses serverUrl for remote HTTP MCP servers.
Sign in with TypeUI if Windsurf asks you to authorize the connection.
Create a draft
Start from a theme, a markdown ZIP, or a Figma import. TypeUI creates an editable draft design system in your workspace.
Review the markdown
Open View markdown source files and review them before publishing.
Files to review
Edit the source files
Adjust the markdown when you need clearer rules, stronger component guidance, or product-specific language. After publishing, TypeUI MCP uses your saved edits when it helps your AI tool build UI.
Publish for MCP
Publish when ready so your MCP-connected AI tool can use it.
Start building UI
Build me a landing page.
Tell Cascade what to build. TypeUI helps it choose the right style and layout.
Review and refine
Run your app and review the changes. Ask Cascade for targeted improvements:
I don't like this pricing section, give me more variations.
TypeUI will now create three pricing variations so you can compare different layouts before choosing one.
After you choose a direction, tell Cascade which one to use:
I like the comparison one. Let's use it.
Once Windsurf is connected to TypeUI, you can keep working in the same flow: choose a design system, ask for the interface you need, review the generated variations, and tell Cascade which direction to continue with.
