Web scraping in Devin Desktop,
one config file away
Save one JSON block into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, hit Connect, and all 57 scraping tools land in Cascade's schema, with no restart and no install step. Proxies and parsing stay on our side. Devin Desktop is the editor that shipped as Windsurf, which is why the path still says so.

the key stays in your environment, and the file sits outside the repo either way
The same MCP server, in the file that commits and in the one that doesn't.
Cascade reads a personal file that never leaves your machine. The Devin CLI reads one that travels with the repo. Same endpoint, same balance, and the key stays a variable in both.
The hero file wires Cascade only. The CLI takes one command, writes its own file, and calls the endpoint url where Cascade calls it serverUrl.
.devin/mcp_config.json goes to the repo with the endpoint, and the tool allow-list sits next to it in .devin/mcp_config.json, so a pull brings both. Keys stay out of it: the header reads ${env:HASDATA_API_KEY}, and anything personal belongs in the gitignored .devin/mcp_config.local.json.
Cascade's server page lists all 57 tools with a checkbox each. Untick what the agent shouldn't see.
editor or terminal, the endpoint doesn't care
You ask once. Cascade runs the chain.
One prompt, and the calls chain themselves. Each answer becomes the input the next call needs, and you never paste a value between steps.
Cascade names each tool as it calls it, so you watch the reasoning instead of a spinner.
You describe the steps.
It supplies the values.

How do I scrape websites in Devin Desktop?
Add the HasData MCP server to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and hit Connect. Cascade discovers 57 scraping tools (SERP, Maps, Amazon, any public URL) and calls them by name in the chat. The Devin CLI keeps its own .devin/mcp_config.json and lists the same server under Devin Local. Proxies, rendering and parsing run on HasData's side. This is a scraping server you add to Devin, not Cognition's own Devin MCP, which points the other way and lets outside agents hand work to Devin.
Is Devin Desktop the same as Windsurf?
Yes. Cognition rebranded Windsurf as Devin Desktop to put the editor and the Devin agent under one name, and the editor agent is still called Cascade. The MCP config format did not change, and one endpoint serves both surfaces, the Cascade MCP marketplace and the Devin Local one.
Does the API key have to sit in the file?
No. ${env:HASDATA_API_KEY} in the headers is what Cascade expects, and it resolves from the environment the app started with. If the variable is missing it resolves to an empty string and the server answers 401, so set it before the app starts, then hit Connect.
How do I add an MCP server to Devin Desktop?
The server showed up on the MCP panel straight away. One click on Connect and it reads hasdata MCP · Connected with all 57 tools listed under Write. No restart, no approval dialog.
Can I switch off tools I don't need?
Yes, one by one, and an unchecked tool never enters the schema. Cascade also caps what it loads at 100 tools across all servers, so 57 leaves room for one more server, not for five.
Is there a config my team can share?
Yes, the one the Devin CLI writes. .devin/mcp_config.json commits with the repo, so a pull is the whole setup. In the app it lands in the Devin Local marketplace, not in Cascade's list.
What does a call cost?
From 1 credit for a plain page read to 15 depending on the tool, from one balance shared with the REST API. You start with 1,000 free, no card.
All integrations · The MCP server itself, including full platform coverage
