Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Filemail API credentials?
Log in to your Filemail account, go to account settings, and locate your API Key and Login Token in the developer or security section.
How do I upload files after initialization?
This connector handles metadata. Use the 'uploadurl' returned by initialize_transfer to upload your file data via your preferred HTTP client.
Can I check my account storage limits?
Yes! Use the get_configuration tool to retrieve current storage usage, total limits, and account configuration details.
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.
