   npm install -g @endorhq/cli

   For detailed instructions, see the Setup guide

       "endor": {
         "command": "endor",
         "args": ["mcp"],

Team Configuration

For team environments, admins can whitelist Endor as an approved MCP server for the entire team. This enables consistent development environments across all team members without individual setup.

Usage

Once configured, Windsurf’s AI agents can:

• Automatically provision database services for team projects
• Create consistent testing environments
• Manage shared development resources

The AI integration works seamlessly with team workflows, allowing natural language requests like “set up the database stack for our new microservice” to automatically provision the required Endor services.
