Add a blog to your Windsurf site

Last updated September 23, 2026

Yes, Windsurf can add a blog to your site and publish to it. Log in with the Mentionwell CLI, paste the setup prompt into Cascade so it adds a /blog route, then add the Mentionwell MCP server. After that, you ask Cascade for a post and it goes live on your domain.

Set it up in three steps

Sign up and set up your site from the terminal. Login opens your browser, signs you up if you are new, and stores a token on your machine. No key to paste anywhere. Onboard then reads your site, learns the brand, plans articles, and starts your first one. New accounts get a 14-day trial with one real article, no card.
```
npx mentionwell-cli login
npx mentionwell-cli onboard yoursite.com
```
Let Windsurf add the blog. In the app, open Connect, choose “In my code editor or terminal”, and paste the setup prompt into Windsurf with your project open. The agent adds a /blog route that reads posts from the Mentionwell Reader API. Prefer to do the wiring yourself? Run the CLI in the project: it detects your framework, syncs env vars, and verifies delivery.
```
npx mentionwell-cli init
```
Ask for a post, and it goes live. Add the account MCP server so Windsurf can write and publish for you. In Windsurf the config lives in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, or add it from Cascade's MCP settings. Refresh the MCP servers after saving. Then ask in plain language, for example “write a post on onboarding checklists and ship it to yoursite.com”. The article lands at yoursite.com/blog in roughly twelve minutes, and the agent hands back the live URL.
```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mentionwell": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mentionwell-mcp-account"]
    }
  }
}
```

Start free 14-day trial with one real article. No card.

What you get

Articles that answer real questions. Mentionwell reads your site, finds what your buyers ask Google and AI assistants, and writes researched posts in your voice.
Built to get cited. Each post ships with clear answers, FAQs and structured data, so ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI Overviews can quote it.
On your domain. Posts live at yoursite.com/blog, not on a subdomain you don’t own.
Proof it’s working. Paid plans check whether AI assistants actually recommend you, not just link you as a source, and track it over time.

Questions

How do I set it up from Windsurf?

Run npx mentionwell-cli login, paste the setup prompt from the Connect screen into Cascade with your project open so it adds the /blog route, and add the mentionwell-mcp-account server to your Windsurf MCP config. The config needs no key.

Is there a docs server too?

Yes. mentionwell-mcp-docs needs no account and answers Mentionwell questions from the official docs, so the code Cascade writes matches the real API.

Do I need a CMS?

No. Mentionwell stores and serves the articles. Your site only needs a /blog page that reads them, and your AI builder writes that page for you from the setup prompt.

What does it cost to try?

Nothing. Every new account gets a 14-day trial with one real article written for your site (it starts as soon as setup finishes), plus a few AI visibility checks. No card. After 14 days you stay on the Free plan, which still writes 1 article a month. Builder is $24/month ($19/month billed yearly) for 5 articles, a weekly AI search check, and the CLI and MCP for your coding agent. Starter is $79/month for 15 articles.
