Frequently asked questions
Can I run custom reports with specific dimensions and metrics?
Yes! The run_report tool accepts a JSON configuration with dateRanges, dimensions (e.g., pagePath, sessionSource), and metrics (e.g., sessions, screenPageViews, conversions). Use get_metadata to list all available dimensions and metrics, and check_compatibility to verify your combination is valid before running.
Does GA4 require two credentials — an access token and a property ID?
Yes. You need a Google OAuth Access Token (for authentication via Bearer header) and a GA4 Property ID (numeric ID identifying your specific GA4 property). The Access Token can be generated via a Google Cloud Service Account with the Analytics Data API enabled. The Property ID is found in GA4 Admin > Property Settings.
Can I see real-time active users on my website?
Yes. The run_realtime_report tool provides current active user data with real-time dimensions and metrics. For pre-built convenience reports, use get_page_views for top pages, get_traffic_sources for session sources, and get_device_breakdown for device distribution.
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.
