Frequently asked questions
Can the agent fetch the exact mock server endpoints for one of my APIs?
Yes. You can use the get_doc_url capability to retrieve both the public facing documentation url and the private mock server endpoint string. Your agent can immediately use this url to simulate requests internally using other modules or tests.
Am I able to update the Blueprint markup completely through the agent?
Absolutely. Instruct your AI agent to fetch the blueprint with get_api. Once read into context, prompt the agent to make your desired changes (e.g. 'Add a new POST route for user creation'). Then, instruct it to use publish_blueprint to upload the newly revised markdown.
How does the team feature list function mapping work?
Apiary enables collaboration. Utilizing list_teams, the agent finds the slugs of your organizations. Then, using list_team_apis, it fetches all collaborative APIs available for that precise team. This hierarchy avoids hallucinating random endpoint repositories.
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.
