Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Apollo API Key?
Log in to your Apollo.io account, go to Settings > Integrations > API, and generate a new API key. Ensure you have the necessary permissions based on your plan.
Does searching for people consume credits?
Basic searching typically does not consume credits, but 'enriching' a contact to reveal their verified email or phone number will consume Apollo export credits according to your subscription plan.
Can I add contacts directly to my sequences?
Yes! Use the add_contact_to_sequence tool. You'll need the Contact IDs, the Sequence ID, and the ID of the email address you want to use for the outreach.
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.
