FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I see which economic datasets are available?

You can use the get_dataset_list tool. It will return a comprehensive list of all datasets currently supported by the BEA API, such as NIPA, NIUnderlyingDetail, and FixedAssets.

How do I know what filters or parameters to use for a specific dataset?

First, use get_parameter_list with the dataset name to see required fields. Then, use get_parameter_values to find valid inputs (like specific Year or TableID) for those parameters.

Can I fetch actual GDP or income figures directly?

Yes. Use the get_data tool. You will need to provide the dataset name and a JSON string of parameters (e.g., TableName, Frequency, Year) to retrieve the specific economic observations.

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.
