Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Descript API token?
Log in to your Descript account at descript.com. Navigate to Settings (click your profile icon). In the left sidebar, select API tokens. Click the Create token button, give it a descriptive name, and select the specific Drive you want it associated with. Copy the token immediately — it will not be shown again after you close the window. Paste it into the configuration field below.
Can I convert a podcast transcript into a blog post automatically?
Yes. Ask your AI agent to pull the full transcript from a Descript project, then instruct it to reformat the content into a structured blog post. It retrieves speaker labels, timestamps, and the complete text — perfect for creating show notes, summaries, or full articles from your recordings.
What if I work across multiple Descript drives?
Each API token is tied to a specific Drive. If you work across multiple drives (e.g., separate drives for different shows or clients), generate a separate token for each drive and configure multiple integrations. Your AI agent can then query projects from any of your drives.
Is this useful for agencies producing video content for clients?
Absolutely. Agencies can use the AI agent to pull transcripts across client projects, track export statuses, and retrieve download links — all from a single conversational interface. No need to log in and out of different client workspaces or manually download files from the Descript 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.
