Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Confluent Cloud API Key?
Log in to your Confluent Cloud dashboard. Go to Cloud API Keys under the administration menu. Click Add key, select the scope, and copy both the API Key and Secret.
What is an Environment in Confluent?
An Environment is a logical boundary containing clusters, schema registries, and connectors. You often need the Environment ID when querying specific resources.
Can the agent consume messages directly?
This integration focuses on control-plane tasks: managing topics, monitoring cluster status, and listing connectors. Direct message consumption from streams is not supported.
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.
