Connecting Odds runs one MCP server for every client. Windsurf calls the same search_jobs and get_job tools, backed by the same ranked search engine the website uses — there is no client-specific search behaviour.

Remote MCP (Streamable HTTP). The endpoint is:

OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration. Windsurf redirects you to Connecting Odds, you approve the connection, and the client stores a scoped access token. You never paste a key, password or database credential.

Add Connecting Odds to Windsurf's MCP configuration using the streamable HTTP endpoint, then refresh Cascade's server list.

Client interfaces change often, so follow Windsurf’s current MCP or custom connector setup flow and paste the URL above when it asks for a server address.

• MCP connection failed: Remove the connector and add it again with the copied URL, then restart the client.
• Authentication failed: Disconnect and reconnect to trigger a fresh sign-in, and approve the Connecting Odds consent screen.
• Tools not appearing: Refresh the connector's tools, then start a new chat or session.
• No jobs returned: Loosen one constraint at a time — drop the salary floor or widen the location — and ask again.
