- File & Folder Management — Create, update, copy, and delete files or folders directly through the chat
- Sharing & Permissions — Audit who has access to your sensitive documents and add or remove permissions securely
- Content Conversion — Export Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides to formats like PDF or CSV with simple commands
- Version Control — List file revisions to track changes and see the evolution of your documents over time
How it works

Frequently asked questions
Can I search for files by their content, not just their name?
Yes! The list_files tool uses Google Drive's powerful search engine. You can use queries like 'fullText contains "marketing plan"' to find files based on the text inside them.
How do I share a file with someone using the AI agent?
Use the create_permission tool. You just need to provide the File ID, the person's email address, and the role you want to grant (e.g., 'reader', 'commenter', or 'writer').
Can I export a Google Sheet to a PDF through the chat?
Yes. The export_file tool allows you to specify a Google Doc/Sheet/Slide ID and a target MIME type like application/pdf. The agent will initiate the export for you.
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.
