Frequently asked questions
Can the AI send emails autonomously on my behalf?
Yes, if authorized by you in the conversational context. The send_email tool allows fully crafting, attaching subject lines, and dispatching payloads out of your alias.
How does searching work in a massively clogged inbox?
The integration exposes a wrapper around Google's native filtering syntax. You simply supply native params like "is:unread from:dev" and the egress bounds automatically stream only small context snippets.
Is my email data retained or trained by the server?
No, Vurb MCP architecture operates exclusively locally. The network connection executes your query endpoint-to-endpoint securely matching Google standard scopes directly to your client.
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.
