Frequently asked questions
Can I trigger a scan for just one specific library?
Yes! Use the scan_library tool and provide the specific Library ID. The agent will trigger a targeted scan to detect new or changed content in that folder only.
How do I check if my API key is still valid?
You can run the check_authkey_expires tool. It will return the exact expiration timestamp for your current API key, helping you avoid service interruptions.
Can I refresh my entire collection at once?
Absolutely. Use the scan_all_libraries tool to trigger a global scan across all configured libraries in your Kavita instance.
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.
