Frequently asked questions
Does the AI agent process payments directly?
No, the AI agent retrieves and manages data from your Donately account, it does not act as a payment gateway itself.
Can the AI agent create new fundraising campaigns?
Currently, the agent can list and retrieve information about existing campaigns, but campaign creation should be done in the Donately dashboard.
Is donor data safe with the AI agent?
Yes, the agent only accesses the data necessary to answer your prompts and does not store personal donor information permanently.
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.
