Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Cradl AI API Key?
Log in to your Cradl AI dashboard and navigate to the API section to generate a new key. Ensure you keep this key secure.
Which document formats are supported?
Cradl AI supports major formats including PDF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF for data extraction.
Can I train custom models via chat?
This integration currently focuses on executing extractions and monitoring tasks. Model training should be performed through the Cradl AI dashboard.
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.
