How do I get my Relay API Key?

Log in to your Relay account, navigate to Settings > API Keys, and generate a new key.

Can I pass inputs to a workflow?

Yes! Use the run_workflow action with a JSON object of input variables that match your workflow's input schema.

Can I cancel an active workflow run?

Yes! Use the cancel_run action with the run ID. This only works on runs that are currently in progress.

Can I view the required inputs for a specific workflow?

Yes! Use the get_workflow action to see its required input schema before running it.

Relay Workflow Automation + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Relay Workflow Automation 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.
