Ecobot

Connect AI code editors to Ecobot

Cursor, Windsurf (now Devin Desktop), and Zed all support remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP. The Ecobot endpoint is the same in every editor — public, read-only, no API key — and takes about a minute to add.

Ecobot MCP endpoint

https://ecobot.com/mcp

Requirements

  • Cursor, Windsurf (now Devin Desktop), or Zed on a recent stable release.
  • MCP is a core editor feature — no paid plan required to add a remote MCP server.

Setup steps

  1. 1

    Use the Ecobot remote MCP endpoint

    All three editors accept a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server. Point them at the Ecobot URL — do not wrap it in stdio/npx. It is a hosted server, not a local process.

    https://ecobot.com/mcp
  2. 2

    Cursor

    Open Settings → Features → MCP → Add new MCP server. Choose transport type SSE / HTTP and paste the URL above. See Cursor's MCP docs for the current UI: https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol

  3. 3

    Windsurf (now Devin Desktop)

    In Windsurf / Devin Desktop, open Settings → MCP servers, add a new HTTP server, and paste the URL above. See the current Windsurf / Devin Desktop docs: https://docs.windsurf.com/

  4. 4

    Zed

    Zed configures MCP as a "context server". Open Command Palette → zed: open settings and add an entry under context_servers pointing at the URL above. See Zed's Assistant / context server docs: https://zed.dev/docs/assistant/introduction

    {
  "context_servers": {
    "ecobot": {
      "source": "custom",
      "url": "https://ecobot.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Notes & caveats

  • Windsurf was rebranded to Devin Desktop, and its previous Cascade agent was end-of-lifed on July 1 2026 — ignore any older setup guides that reference a "Cascade MCP server".
  • Each editor may prompt for approval on the first tool call. Cursor and Windsurf/Devin Desktop can allow-list Ecobot so tool calls run without a confirm each time.
  • Some MCP features in Zed remain behind experimental flags — check release notes if a tool doesn't appear.

Subject
Request: add Ecobot regulatory reference to AI code editors
Body
Hi IT,

Please add the Ecobot regulatory reference as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector to our AI code editors deployment. It gives our team citation-first answers from the 1987 Corps Manual, every USACE Regional Supplement, and the 2025 National OHWM Manual — verbatim quotes with page-anchored PDF links, no synthesis.

What I need:
  • Add a custom MCP connector in our AI code editors (Cursor · Windsurf (Devin Desktop) · Zed) tenant / workspace
  • Endpoint:        https://ecobot.com/mcp
  • Authentication:  None (public, read-only)
  • Scope:           Enable for my team (or org-wide if appropriate)

Why it matters:
  • Regulatory answers with verbatim quotes + page-anchored citations — audit-defensible
  • Reduces time spent digging through hundreds of pages of USACE guidance
  • Free to use — no license, no API key
  • Setup guide: https://ecobot.com/resources/ai/ai-code-editors

Please let me know once it's available, or if you need anything from me to move forward.

Thanks!
