~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (Windows: %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "forkmate": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.forkmate.ai/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer fmk_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or keep the key out of the file

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "forkmate": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.forkmate.ai/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:FORKMATE_KEY}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Devin Desktop fills in ${env:FORKMATE_KEY} from your environment.

What you need

  • A free Forkmate account (sign up). There is no paid plan.
  • On Enterprise, an admin may need to turn MCP on or allow Forkmate.

Checked against the vendor’s documentation: Devin Desktop docs: Cascade MCP. Windsurf (Devin Desktop) changes its menus often; if yours looks different, trust what it shows.

What to say first

Talk to Windsurf (Devin Desktop) the way you’d tell a friend:

  • “I had two eggs and toast for breakfast.”
  • “How many calories have I had today?”
  • “Make the toast two slices.”
  • “What did I eat this week?”

It logs the meal with calories, protein, carbs and fat to your diary at app.forkmate.ai.

Good to know in Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

  • Cascade can use at most 100 tools at a time across all servers, so turn off ones you don’t use.
  • Use the toggle next to Forkmate to turn it off, or list tool names in disabledTools to hide single tools.
  • Cascade has no MCP marketplace or one-click install (those are in the Devin Local agent), so use the JSON.

If something goes wrong in Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

MCP servers stopped working after your team allow-listed some
Ask your admin to allow Forkmate too: once any server is allow-listed, every other one is blocked.

Forkmate shortcuts

Forkmate comes with ready-made requests for the everyday jobs: log a meal, fix the last entry, see what’s left today, log your usual, hit your protein, a weekly check-in. We haven’t found MCP shortcuts (prompts) in Windsurf (Devin Desktop)’s menus or documentation, so type or paste the request instead.

  • Log a meal (log-meal)
    “Log this to my Forkmate diary: two eggs and toast with butter”
  • Fix my last entry (fix-last-entry)
    “Fix the last thing I logged in Forkmate: it was 2 eggs, not 3”
  • What's left today (today-so-far)
    “Show me today so far in Forkmate: my calories, protein, carbs and fat.”
  • Log my usual (log-my-usual)
    “Log my usual breakfast to Forkmate.”
  • Hit my protein today (hit-protein)
    “How much protein have I had today in Forkmate, and how far am I from my target of 120 g? Suggest a few foods for my remaining meals and snacks that would close the gap, using my food profile and the foods I usually eat.”
  • Weekly check-in (week-review)
    “Give me a check-in on my last 7 days in Forkmate (get_range): calories, protein, carbs and fat per day and on average, how many days I logged, and the foods I ate most.”
  • Move my MyFitnessPal history (import-myfitnesspal)
    “How do I move my food diary history from MyFitnessPal to Forkmate? Walk me through exporting my data for free and importing it with the guided importer described at https://forkmate.ai/migrate-from-myfitnesspal/. Don't log anything yet.”

Shortcut or not, Forkmate sends Windsurf (Devin Desktop) the same logging rules when it connects: log your own words, keep your amounts, and look foods up before estimating.
