Frequently asked questions
Can I check how many people clicked my link today?
Yes! Use the get_link_clicks tool with your Bitlink. Your agent will fetch the total click summary directly from the Bitly engine.
How do I see which countries my clicks are coming from?
Simply ask the agent to get_clicks_by_country for a specific Bitlink. It will return a breakdown of traffic by geographic origin.
Does the integration allow me to delete a Bitlink?
Bitlinks cannot be truly deleted via the standard API; they can only be archived or hidden. Currently, the toolset focuses on creation and monitoring (shortening links, checking metrics).
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.
