Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my Knoema API credentials?
Visit the Knoema Developer Portal (knoema.com/dev), create an application, and you will receive a Client ID and Client Secret.
How can I find a specific dataset ID?
Use the search_datasets tool with relevant keywords. The tool will return a list of matching datasets along with their unique IDs.
What is a mnemonic in Knoema?
A mnemonic is a short, human-readable code used to identify a specific data series within a dataset (e.g., 'NGDP' for Nominal GDP).
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.
