Frequently asked questions
Can I create a read-only API key for a specific project?
Yes! Use the create_project_api_key tool. You can specify the project_id, a description, and set the read_only flag to true to ensure the key has restricted permissions.
How do I manage the email addresses associated with my account?
You can use create_email to add a new address, update_email to change settings like the default status, and delete_email to remove an address from your profile.
Is it possible to view and decline project invitations via AI?
Yes. Use get_invitation to see the details of a pending invite and decline_invitation if you do not wish to join that specific project.
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.
