Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically rewrite an older story using Arc Native Schema and safely publish the update?
Absolutely. Ask your agent to fetch a specific story by its ID. It understands the complex JSON structure of ANS, allows you to instruct it on what changes to make (e.g., 'Update the headline and add this new quote to paragraph 3'), and can dispatch an update command that preserves the content tree without breaking the CMS.
Is it possible to find specific high-res photos inside the ArcXP Media Library using natural language?
Yes! Use the photo assets search action to query tags or captions using descriptive words. The AI fetches the asset ID, caption, credit strings, and directly accessible image URLs, letting you browse your editorial imagery seamlessly.
Can I query what articles a specific editor has authored?
Yes! You can retrieve the Editor ID from the Author service and run an Elasticsearch query targeting their author object in the search tool. This quickly compiles all the CMS output for that specific reporter.
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.
