Frequently asked questions
How do I find my DataScope API Key?
Log in to the DataScope Web Portal, navigate to Settings > Integrations, and copy your unique API Key.
Can I filter submissions by specific users?
Yes! The list_form_submissions tool allows you to provide a user_id to retrieve only the answers submitted by a particular team member.
How do I get the PDF report for a submission?
Use the get_submission_pdf_url tool with a submission ID to generate a temporary download link for the professional PDF report.
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.
