Integration · Windsurf

Let Windsurf use your iPhone.

Connect Windsurf's Cascade agent to ScreenTap and it can use your real iPhone to check and test the app you're building.

Download ScreenTapSetup steps ↓

Set up

Windsurf

The agentic IDE. Add ScreenTap's URL to mcp_config.json.

  1. 1

    Open ScreenTap

    The MCP server runs while the ScreenTap app is open.

  2. 2

    Open the MCP config

    In Windsurf, open Settings › Cascade › MCP Servers and choose View raw config. This opens ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

  3. 3

    Add ScreenTap

    Paste this in. If the file already has servers, add only the "screentap" entry. Note that Windsurf calls the field serverUrl.

    mcp_config.json
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "screentap": { "serverUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:47811/mcp" }
      }
    }
  4. 4

    Refresh and try it

    Refresh the MCP servers in Cascade, then ask:

    Prompt
    Take a screenshot of my iPhone and tell me what's on screen.

Full guide with troubleshooting: Windsurf in the docs.

Things to try

Ask Windsurf to…

  • ›

    Open my app on the iPhone and walk through the checkout flow.

  • ›

    Record my app's onboarding as a video with the taps drawn on top.

More in the prompt library.

Good to know

  • Windsurf calls the field serverUrl, not url.

Questions

Can Windsurf control an iPhone?+
