What is the habitable zone?

The habitable zone ('Goldilocks zone') is the range of distances from a star where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface — not too hot, not too cold. We filter for equilibrium temperatures between 200-320K and rocky sizes (< 2 Earth radii).

NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating NASA Exoplanets — Worlds Beyond Our Solar System 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.
