Not sure which Scandit product fits your use case?

Install the Scandit plugin and use the /data-capture-sdk skill so that your AI coding agent can recommend the right product for your use case. More info →

Run the following command in your project directory. It detects the supported coding agents you have installed and adds the Scandit plugin to each. Re-run it to update.

Windsurf Connectors Guide

This guide explains how to connect Scandit’s documentation feed (llms-full.txt) to your Windsurf environment. Once integrated, Windsurf will have direct access to the latest Scandit SDK information, helping you build faster with accurate, up-to-date context.

What is llms-full.txt?​

We provide an always up-to-date text file of our complete developer documentation with every release. This file is designed for easy integration with AI coding assistants like Windsurf.

This file is published with the public documentation and also available from the Context7 MCP server:

Getting Started​

Follow these steps to integrate Scandit’s documentation into your Windsurf environment.

Add the Context Source​

  1. Open Windsurf.
  2. Go to Settings → AI → Context Sources.
  3. Click Add Source and choose Custom URL.
  4. Paste the following URL: 
    https://docs.scandit.com/llms-full.txt
  5. (Optional) For redundancy, also add the Context7 mirror: 
    https://context7.com/scandit/data-capture-documentation
  6. Give the source a name, for example Scandit Docs (llms-full).

Configure Windsurf to Use Scandit Docs​

  1. In the Source Settings panel, configure the following:
    • Refresh Interval: Set to Daily (so Windsurf always pulls the latest release updates).
    • Scope: Choose Global if you want Scandit docs to be available in all projects, or Workspace-only for more targeted use.
  2. Toggle Auto-injection so that Windsurf automatically references Scandit docs when you work with scandit-datacapture imports.

Verify Integration​

  1. Open a project that uses the Scandit SDK.
  2. Add a package import such as: 
    import 'package:scandit_flutter_datacapture_barcode/scandit_flutter_datacapture_barcode.dart';
  3. In the Windsurf chat panel, ask:

    “How do I configure SparkScan with continuous scanning and manual activation?”

If configured correctly, Windsurf should respond using content pulled directly from Scandit’s documentation feed (llms-full.txt).

Best Practices​

  • Keep context sources focused: Assign Scandit docs only to relevant workspaces if you’re working with multiple SDKs.
  • Stay up-to-date: Windsurf automatically refreshes the feed daily, but you can manually reload if you need immediate access to the latest release.
  • Combine with samples: For best results, pair the Scandit docs feed with local SDK sample apps.

Using windsurf.json​

You can also configure Windsurf directly via the windsurf.json file. Add the following block:

{
  "name": "Scandit Docs (llms-full)",
  "urls": [
    "https://docs.scandit.com/llms-full.txt",
    "https://context7.com/scandit/data-capture-documentation"
  ],
  "refreshInterval": "daily",
  "scope": "global",
  "autoInject": true
}

File Location​

The configuration file is located at:

  • macOS/Linux: ~/.windsurf/windsurf.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Windsurf\windsurf.json

Once added, restart Windsurf for the changes to take effect.
