Frequently asked questions
Can I create and move cards across board columns?
Yes. Create cards in any column, move them across workflow stages, update details and assignees, and archive completed work.
How does KanbanZone authentication work?
KanbanZone uses HTTP Basic Auth with the API Token against integrations.kanbanzone.io/v1. This differs from the standard Bearer token pattern.
Can I organize work using swimlanes?
Yes. Browse and manage swimlanes to categorize cards by project, team, or priority within each board.
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.
