Frequently asked questions
Can I query specific data inside a resource without downloading the whole file?
Yes! You can use the search_datastore_sql tool to run SQL queries directly against the Inep database for resources that support the DataStore API.
How do I find datasets related to a specific topic like 'ENEM'?
Use the search_packages tool with the query 'ENEM'. It will return all matching datasets, which you can then inspect using get_package.
Is it possible to list all organizations that publish data on the portal?
Yes, the list_organizations tool retrieves all departments and entities within Inep that maintain open data resources.
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.
