Can my AI read the strict structure of a custom model before creating a block?

Yes! We highly recommend asking your agent to use `get_model_schema` first. By retrieving the exact JSON fields (Strings, Lists, Booleans), the AI naturally learns the shape of your `Page` or `HeroContent` model and formats its `create_visual_block` mutation flawlessly avoiding validation errors.

How can I count how many blogs or pages are in my Builder space?

You can use the native `count_model_entities` tool. By querying a model like `blog-post`, the agent accesses the Builder backend with `limit=1` exclusively to extract the metadata counts without downloading heavyweight content arrays—highly efficient for broad analytics.

Can the agent wipe an accidentally created page completely?

Yes. If an error occurs or a staging draft needs removal, the agent can call `wipe_visual_block`. Supply the targeted entity ID, and the HTTP DELETE command is irreversibly broadcasted to the Builder environment. Always review IDs manually.

Builder + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Builder 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.
