FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How do I find the specific ID for a county to get its rent data?

First, use the list_states tool to get the state code, then use list_counties with that code. This will provide you with the 10-digit FIPS code (entity ID) needed for the get_fmr_data tool.

02

Can I retrieve rent data for an entire state at once?

Yes! Use the get_state_fmr_data tool and provide the two-letter state code (e.g., 'NY' for New York). It will return FMR data for all metro areas and counties within that state.

03

What is the difference between IL and MTSP data?

IL data (get_il_data) refers to general Income Limits for housing assistance, while MTSP data (get_mtsp_il_data) specifically targets Multifamily Tax Subsidy Projects. Both can be queried using the same entity IDs.

04

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.

05

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.

06

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.
