Setup

Connect Windsurf in minutes

  1. 01

    Create an API key

    In FacelessGenie, open Settings → API and create a key. It's shown once — copy it.

  2. 02

    Add the server to mcp_config.json

    Add the snippet to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh plugins in Cascade.

  3. 03

    Ask for your first video

    In Windsurf, try "make a 60-second short about…" — it picks the format, creates the video, and shares the finished link when the render completes.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

Swap in the key from Settings → API:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "facelessgenie": {
      "serverUrl": "https://www.facelessgenie.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer fg_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then ask for your first video — try “make a 60-second short about…”
