Frequently asked questions
Can I generate images with specific styles and aspect ratios?
Yes. The generate_image tool accepts a text prompt along with style presets (realistic, design, 3D, anime), aspect ratio (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, etc.), and model version. You can control the output precisely for different use cases.
Can I edit specific parts of an existing image?
Yes. Use edit_image with a source image and mask to modify specific regions using inpainting. Use remix_image to transform an image with a new prompt while preserving its overall composition and structure.
How does Ideogram authentication work?
Ideogram uses a custom Api-Key header (not Bearer). Your API key is generated from the Ideogram developer dashboard and sent in all requests to api.ideogram.ai.
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.
