Can my agent perform semantic RAG queries against my collections?

Yes. The 'rag_query' tool allows you to ask questions in natural language. The agent queries your vector store via Cognita and uses an LLM to synthesize a final answer based explicitly on the retrieved context.

How can I trigger a data ingestion pipeline through the agent?

Provide the collection name and the data source FQN (Fully Qualified Name). The 'ingest_data' tool will command the Cognita backend to start a sync, updating your RAG vector space with the latest remote documents.

Can I audit the raw document chunks before LLM generation?

Absolutely. Use the 'search_chunks' tool to perform vector searches that return raw text segments and metadata without LLM synthesis. This is the perfect way to verify that your retrieval logic is pulling the correct data boundaries.

About Cognita (RAG Framework) MCP Server

Connect your Cognita (TrueFoundry) instance to any AI agent and take full control of your modular RAG workflows through natural conversation.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Cognita (RAG Framework) tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 7 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

What you can do

Knowledge Collections — List and audit RAG collections to inspect embedding configurations, token lengths, and parser details
Data Ingestion — Force sync remote files from SQL, Cloud Storage, or APIs into your vector space to update your knowledge base
RAG Queries — Dispatch automated AI questions that query your vector store and synthesize accurate answers from stored context
Chunk Auditing — Perform lexical or semantic searches to pull raw document chunks and verify precise text segments
Model Registry — Enumerate available LLMs and embedding models registered inside your modular Cognita installation
DataSource Management — List all connected data sources to verify which external data is mapped into your AI workflows

The Cognita (RAG Framework) MCP Server exposes 7 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Cognita (RAG Framework) + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Cognita (RAG Framework) 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.
