Frequently asked questions
Which version of Ernie Bot should I use for chat?
For high performance and reasoning, use ernie-4.0-8k. For faster response times and cost efficiency, ernie-speed-128k or ernie-lite-8k are excellent choices.
Can I automatically generate embeddings for RAG?
Yes! Use the get_embeddings tool with your text input. The agent will retrieve the vector representations from Baidu's embedding models, ready for indexing in your vector database.
How do I use prompt templates from the console?
Use the list_prompt_templates tool to find your configured templates. You can then retrieve specific details using get_prompt_template to maintain consistency across your AI workflows.
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.
