Can my AI automatically find the details and status of a specific task just by providing the Task GID?

Yes! Use the `get_task` tool with exactly the Task Global ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, assignee fields, and precise operational notes connected to that active ticket in seconds.

How do I easily list all the columns in an active agile sprint board?

Simply ask the agent to run the `list_sections` action on the target Project GID. It will compile all column phases (e.g., 'To Do', 'In Progress', 'QA') configured for that environment.

Does the integration permit modifying or deleting my workspace configurations?

No. The core set of tools focuses strictly on heavily querying and analyzing context—listing projects, analyzing metadata, checking tasks. State alteration operations are not currently exposed, assuring your workspaces are secure against destructive queries.

Asana + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Asana 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.
