Agents

Envlet for Windsurf

Windsurf's Cascade agent takes MCP servers from one JSON config. Give it Envlet, then run it with its own token.

envlet run -- windsurf .production withheld

Set up

Three steps. The host keeps one secret and everything else arrives at boot.

  1. 01

    Add the MCP server

    Add the entry to Windsurf's MCP configuration and reload.

    ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "envlet": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "@envlet/cli", "mcp"]
        }
      }
    }
  2. 02

    Give it a token

    Add Windsurf under Access in the dashboard, or let the migrate prompt do it. Its token opens one environment, and production starts fully withheld.

    agent/windsurfagent
    Its own token, separate from your login.

  3. 03

    Run it through Envlet

    Start Windsurf with envlet run. It sees the values its token allows and nothing else, and every read shows up under its name.

    Terminal
    envlet run -- windsurf .

Migrate with one prompt

The migrate prompt runs the whole migration in Windsurf. Values never enter the chat.

Questions

Can Windsurf read production secrets?

Not by default. A new agent grant withholds every current and future production variable. You allow specific names when you decide to.

Do agents count toward my plan?

No. Agents and CI jobs are unlimited on every plan. Only humans are members.

Stop pasting .env files.

One command. The right values for whoever runs it.
