Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key to use ImageCharts?
The API key is optional. Without it, generated charts include a watermark. With a paid API key, charts are watermark-free and you get higher rate limits. The key is passed as a query parameter to image-charts.com/chart.
What chart types can I generate?
Six types: bar charts (generate_bar_chart), pie charts (generate_pie_chart), line charts (generate_line_chart), radar charts (generate_radar_chart), bubble charts (generate_bubble_chart), and QR codes (generate_qr_code). Each supports custom colors, labels, sizes, and data series.
Can I generate QR codes from any text or URL?
Yes. The generate_qr_code tool creates a scannable QR code image from any text, URL, or data string. You can customize the size and error correction level.
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.
