How do I get my Nomad Address?

Your Nomad Address is the URL where your Nomad server is reachable, usually including the port (e.g., http://nomad.example.com:4646).

Is an ACL Token required?

Only if ACLs are enabled on your Nomad cluster. If enabled, you must provide a Secret ID with sufficient permissions to query the requested resources.

Can I use namespaces with this server?

Yes! You can specify a target namespace in the authentication settings. The server will then filter all job and allocation queries to that specific namespace.

HashiCorp Nomad + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating HashiCorp Nomad 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.
