Frequently asked questions
Can I generate documents from templates through the AI agent?
Yes. Browse available templates, inspect their required fields, and generate documents by providing field values. Output documents are created automatically.
Can I browse available apps and templates?
Yes. List all Knackly apps and their associated templates with field configurations, data types, and validation rules.
What API endpoint does Knackly use?
Knackly uses Bearer authentication against api.knackly.io/v1.
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.
