Frequently asked questions
Can I fetch profile details for any Hashnode user?
Yes! Use the get_user tool with the specific username handle. The agent will return their profile information, bio, and social links.
Does the publishing tool support Markdown formatting?
Absolutely. Both create_post and update_post accept contentMarkdown, allowing you to publish rich technical content with code blocks, headers, and links.
How do I list posts from a specific blog domain?
Use the get_publication_posts tool and provide the host domain (e.g., 'engineering.hashnode.dev' or your custom domain). It will return a list of recent posts from that publication.
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.
