Omnyx personality adaptation for Windsurf IDE via MCP

Omnyx Windsurf Plugin

Personality-driven adaptation for Windsurf IDE via MCP (Model Context Protocol) and settings injection.

Installation

cd omnyx-windsurf
pip install -e .

How It Works

Windsurf supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) — an open standard for extending AI capabilities. This plugin provides:

1. MCP Server — Windsurf connects to omnyx-windsurf as an MCP tool
2. Settings Injection — Modifies .windsurfrc with personality-driven configurations
3. Cascade Context — Injects personality context into every AI interaction

Setup

Quick Setup (One Command)

omnyx-windsurf setup --api-key omx_your_key_here --auto-configure

Then restart Windsurf IDE.

Manual Setup (Step by Step)

Step 1: Configure Omnyx

omnyx-windsurf setup --api-key omx_...

Step 2: Configure Windsurf

omnyx-windsurf configure-windsurf

Step 3: Restart Windsurf IDE

Where Config Files Go

The plugin creates/modifies these files:

MCP Config:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Windsurf/mcp_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Windsurf/mcp_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Windsurf\mcp_config.json

Windsurf Settings:

• All platforms: ~/.windsurfrc

This creates/modifies:

// .windsurfrc
{
  "omnyx.enabled": true,
  "omnyx.autonomy_level": "adaptive",
  "omnyx.planning_mode": "detailed",
  "omnyx.verbosity": "profile_based",
  "omnyx.test_generation": "comprehensive",
  "omnyx.cascade.context_injection": true
}

Usage

Important: Manual Invocation Required

Unlike Hermes (which auto-intercepts every prompt), Windsurf requires explicit tool calls via @omnyx:

@omnyx get_profile                      # Check your profile
@omnyx adapt_task "Build a React app"   # Get task adaptation

Why? MCP (Model Context Protocol) doesn't expose pre-prompt hooks. Windsurf must actively call the tool.

System Prompt Injection

When you call @omnyx adapt_task, the plugin:

1. Sends your task to Omnyx backend
2. Receives personality-adapted settings
3. Updates .windsurfrc with cascade.system_prompt_prefix
4. Cascade reads this and adjusts future behavior

Note: System prompt affects Cascade's style but doesn't auto-send subsequent prompts to Omnyx.

MCP Tools Provided

The plugin exposes these MCP tools to Windsurf:

omnyx_get_profile

Get current personality profile and confidence score.

Returns:

{
  "confidence": 0.82,
  "autonomy_level": "checkpointed",
  "planning_style": "detailed",
  "communication_style": "thorough",
  "last_updated": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}

omnyx_adapt_task

Get autonomy configuration for a specific task.

Input:

{
  "task_description": "Build user authentication",
  "estimated_scope": "medium",
  "file_context": ["src/auth.py", "src/models.py"]
}

Returns:

{
  "autonomy": "checkpointed",
  "planning_depth": "detailed",
  "test_coverage": "comprehensive",
  "cascade_instructions": "[Context: User prefers comprehensive solutions]"
}

omnyx_get_suggestions

Retrieve pending personalization suggestions.

omnyx_accept_suggestion / omnyx_dismiss_suggestion

Manage suggestion workflow.

Privacy Modes

Configure via .windsurfrc or CLI:

# Mode 1: Full context (default)
omnyx-windsurf config --privacy-mode raw_prompts

# Mode 2: Task only (no file contents)
omnyx-windsurf config --privacy-mode task_only

# Mode 3: Paused
omnyx-windsurf config --privacy-mode paused

Commands

omnyx-windsurf setup --api-key omx_...     # Initial configuration
omnyx-windsurf configure-windsurf          # Install MCP config
omnyx-windsurf status                      # Show profile and connection
omnyx-windsurf mcp                         # Start MCP server (for Windsurf)
omnyx-windsurf config                      # View/change settings
omnyx-windsurf check "task description"    # Test adaptation
omnyx-windsurf forget                      # Clear all data

Integration with .windsurfrc

The plugin modifies .windsurfrc to inject context:

{
  "cascade.system_prompt": "[Omnyx: User prefers detailed explanations with trade-off analysis. Confidence: 82%]",
  
  "omnyx.autonomy": {
    "level": "checkpointed",
    "checkpoint_frequency": "major_decisions"
  },
  
  "omnyx.style": {
    "verbosity": "high",
    "warmth": "medium",
    "structure": "detailed"
  },
  
  "omnyx.testing": {
    "coverage": "comprehensive",
    "include_edge_cases": true
  }
}

Development

# Run MCP server directly for testing
omnyx-windsurf mcp --debug

# Test task adaptation
omnyx-windsurf check "Refactor authentication module"
