Frequently asked questions
How do I find my API Key in Gripr?
Log in to your Gripr account and navigate to Settings > Integrations / API to generate your unique key.
Can I register hours for a specific project?
Yes! The register_hours tool allows you to provide the projectId, duration in minutes, and a description for each entry.
How do I access compliance forms?
Use the list_forms tool to retrieve a directory of all available HSE and QA forms configured in your workspace.
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.
