Can my AI agent explain the vulnerabilities found in a 42Crunch audit?

Yes. After retrieving an audit report using your agent, you can ask the agent to act as a DevSecOps engineer. It can break down exactly why you received a low score, explain specific OWASP findings, and write the YAML or JSON patch needed to fix your OpenAPI spec instantly.

How do I test a new API update before merging?

Simply paste your updated OpenAPI definitions into your AI agent's chat context. Ask the agent to import the new API definition into a staging collection. The platform will automatically run a static security audit upon import, and your agent can report back the new security score before you hit merge.

What is the difference between static audits and dynamic conformance scans?

Audits strictly verify the design of your JSON/YAML contract against security best practices without making network calls. Scans, however, send live HTTP traffic against your implemented endpoint to make sure your back-end truly conforms to what you wrote. Your agent can retrieve both reports for side-by-side comparison.

42Crunch + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating 42Crunch MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
