Frequently asked questions
How do I get a data.world API Token?
Log in to data.world, go to your user settings, and navigate to the Advanced > API Tokens section to generate a new token.
Can the agent run SQL queries?
This integration currently focuses on discovering assets and retrieving saved query definitions. Executing arbitrary SQL queries is managed via the data.world interface or specialized SDKs.
Does the integration support private datasets?
Yes, as long as the provided API Token has the necessary permissions, the agent can list and retrieve information for any dataset you have access to, including private ones.
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?
