Frequently asked questions
Can I create an interview template and send invitations to candidates?
Yes. Use create_interview with a JSON payload containing the title, description, and an array of questions. Then use send_interview_invitation with the candidate's email, first name, last name, and the interview ID. The candidate will receive an email with a link to record their video responses.
Can I review all video responses submitted by candidates?
Yes. The list_interview_responses tool retrieves all submitted video responses with candidate details, interview template reference, and submission timestamps. Use get_candidate_details to inspect a specific candidate's full profile and response history.
How does asynchronous video interviewing work with HRBlade?
HRBlade enables one-way video interviews where candidates record responses at their own pace. You create a template with questions, send an invitation, and the candidate records video answers through a web link. You can then review all responses asynchronously without scheduling live calls. Use list_interviews to see all templates and list_candidates to track your pipeline.
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.
