Can I trigger a data extraction for a specific URL?

Yes! Use the `run_robot` tool with the Robot ID and the target URL (`origin_url`). Your agent will create a new task in Browse AI to extract the data instantly.

How do I retrieve the data once a robot finishes its task?

Simply ask the agent to `get_task` and provide the Task ID. If the status is 'successful', it will return the JSON structure containing all the captured data fields.

Can I list all the robots I have trained in my account?

Yes. Use the `list_robots` tool. It will retrieve all the approved robots currently available in your Browse AI dashboard, including their names and unique IDs.

Browse AI + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Browse AI 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.
