Frequently asked questions
How do I check the status of a transcription job I just started?
Use the get_transcription tool with the Job ID. It will return the current status (queued, processing, done, or error) and the results if completed.
Can I automatically identify different speakers in a recording?
Yes! When using init_transcription, set the diarization parameter to true. The AI will then distinguish between different voices in the transcript.
How do I handle a local audio file that isn't online yet?
First, use the upload_audio_file tool by providing the base64 data and filename. This will give you an audio_url that you can then pass to init_transcription.
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.
