Can I check if a domain is available for registration?

Yes! Use `check_domain_availability` with the domain name. It analyzes the WHOIS record to determine if the domain appears unregistered.

How many domains can I look up at once?

Use `bulk_whois_lookup` with a comma-separated list of up to 10 domains to get key registration details for each one in a single request.

Can I find which domains are hosted on a specific server?

Yes! Use `lookup_hosted_domains` with an IPv4 or IPv6 address to perform a reverse IP lookup and discover all domains on that server.

IP2WHOIS + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating IP2WHOIS 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.
