Frequently asked questions
Can I see the status of all nodes in a cluster through the agent?
Yes! Use the list_cluster_nodes tool with the unique cluster ID. The agent will return a list of all nodes, their IP addresses, and their current health/operational state.
How do I check for recent scaling or upgrade events on my database?
Use the list_cluster_operations tool. Your agent will fetch the management log for the cluster, showing you recent tasks, their progress, and whether they were successful.
Where do I find my CockroachDB Cloud API Secret Key?
Log in to the CockroachDB Cloud Console, navigate to Access Management, and select API Keys. You can generate and copy a new Secret Key from that section.
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.
