Welcome to the Windsurf integration guide. This guide will help you connect ByteRover with Windsurf in just a few minutes, adding persistent memory to your AI-powered development workflow.

​
What You’ll Need

  • Windsurf installed on your computer
  • A ByteRover account

​
Getting Started

​
1. Start the Connection

Go to your ByteRover dashboard and:
  1. Find the “Connect your agent” section
  2. Click on Windsurf from the list of supported editors
  3. Hit the “Connect with Windsurf” button

​
2. Automatic Setup

Here’s what happens automatically:
  • ByteRover generates unique API credentials
  • The ByteRover integration gets configured in Windsurf
  • Connection establishes seamlessly

​
3. Grant Permissions

When Windsurf prompts you:
  • Allow the ByteRover integration to activate
  • Grant necessary permissions for memory operations
  • You’ll see a success message in your ByteRover dashboard

​
Verify the Connection

In Windsurf, you should see:
  • ByteRover integration listed as active
  • Status showing “Connected to ByteRover”
Test it with Windsurf’s AI: 
Store this utility function to ByteRover:

function deepClone(obj) {
  if (obj === null || typeof obj !== 'object') {
    return obj;
  }
  
  if (obj instanceof Date) {
    return new Date(obj.getTime());
  }
  
  if (obj instanceof Array) {
    return obj.map(item => deepClone(item));
  }
  
  if (typeof obj === 'object') {
    const cloned = {};
    for (const key in obj) {
      if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        cloned[key] = deepClone(obj[key]);
      }
    }
    return cloned;
  }
}
Windsurf will confirm when the pattern is successfully stored.

​
Benefits

ByteRover gives Windsurf persistent memory of your coding patterns, project context, and solutions. This means more accurate suggestions and less repetitive explanations across all your development sessions.
Absolutely. With ByteRover’s memory layer, Windsurf remembers your architectural decisions, coding style, and problem-solving approaches, leading to more relevant assistance.
Yes, with ByteRover team plans. Knowledge discovered by one developer becomes available to all team members using Windsurf, accelerating collective productivity.

​
Troubleshooting

Ensure Windsurf is updated to the latest version. Restart Windsurf after the connection attempt. Check that you’re logged into your ByteRover dashboard.
Verify your ByteRover account has available operations. Check the connection status in Windsurf settings. Test with a simple storage command first.
If Windsurf seems slower after connecting, check your internet connection. The memory operations happen in the background and shouldn’t affect performance significantly.

​
Best Practices

Include context when storing:
"Store this React hook for managing form state with validation"
"Save this API error handling pattern for GraphQL mutations"
Be specific when searching:
"Find my stored authentication patterns"
"Retrieve the caching strategies I've saved"
  • Document why certain patterns were chosen
  • Update patterns as they evolve
  • Remove outdated solutions periodically

​
