Frequently asked questions
How can I see which templates are available in my Bannerbear project?
You can use the list_templates tool. It will return a list of all templates associated with your API key, including their names and unique UIDs.
Can I generate a video using this integration?
Yes! Use the create_video tool by providing a video template UID and the necessary input data for the frames. The AI will handle the request and return the video details.
How do I check if my image has finished rendering?
Use the get_image tool with the image UID. It will return the current status (e.g., 'completed') and the public URL of the image once it is ready.
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.
