Frequently asked questions
Can I create a workspace and add participants through the AI agent?
Yes. Use create_workspace with a name to create a new collaborative workspace. Then use add_participant with the workspace ID, participant email, and optional first/last name to invite members. Use list_workspaces to see all existing workspaces and list_participants to review who is already in a workspace.
Does Howspace require a custom Base URL in addition to the API Key?
Yes. Howspace instances are hosted on custom subdomains, so you need to provide your Base URL (e.g., https://your-org.howspace.com) along with the API Key. The API Key is sent as a Bearer token, and all requests are routed to your specific Howspace instance.
Can I view all campaigns running in my Howspace account?
Yes. The list_campaigns tool retrieves all campaigns configured in your account, including engagement campaigns, communication sequences, and notification triggers. Use get_me to verify your authenticated identity and permissions.
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.
