<p>For quick notes and articles that don't need attribution:</p>

<h5 style="margin-top:1rem;">Step 1: Open MCP Configuration</h5>
<p>In Windsurf, open your <code>mcp_config.json</code> file.</p>

<h5 style="margin-top:1rem;">Step 2: Add Anonymous Server</h5>
<p>Add this configuration to your <code>mcp_config.json</code> file:</p>

<div class="code-example">
<code>{
  "alto-anonymous": {
    "transport": "sse",
    "serverUrl": "https://mcp.altonote.com/sse",
    "disabledTools": [],
    "disabled": false
  }
}</code>
</div>

<h5 style="margin-top:1rem;">Step 3: Refresh Connection</h5>
<p>Click the refresh button in Windsurf to reload the MCP connection.</p>

<h5 style="margin-top:1rem;">Step 4: Start Publishing</h5>
<p>You can now use these commands in Windsurf:</p>

<ul>
<li><code>publish "your content here"</code> - Publish text content</li>
<li><code>publish @file</code> - Publish text content from the file</li>
</ul>

<p>Windsurf will return a link to your published note.</p>
