Can my AI agent batch delete unused Uploadcare files?

Yes! Provide your agent with the list of unused UUIDs or ask it to identify temporary incomplete uploads, and simply command it to `batch delete these assets`. The agent uses the `batch_delete_files` tool to permanently erase them from the CDN instantly, freeing up your project's storage.

How can I quickly check my current CDN bandwidth and storage usage?

Instead of digging through the web dashboard, ask your AI agent to `get project info`. It instantly fetches your Uploadcare project-level metadata, returning your precise storage usage (bytes), traffic bandwidth usage, and active file count. Perfect for quick billing audits.

Will my temporary UI uploads expire automatically?

By default, temporary files uploaded via your front-end will be wiped after 24 hours. To prevent this, you can ask your agent to `store this file ` or `batch store` a bunch of UUIDs. The agent communicates with Uploadcare to mark the files as permanently stored, saving them from the garbage collector.

Uploadcare + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating Uploadcare 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.
