Frequently asked questions
How can I see which users are currently active in a specific collaboration room?
You can use the list_active_users tool by providing the Room ID. The agent will return a list of all users currently connected to that room, including their connection IDs and associated info.
Is it possible to inspect or modify the shared state of a room from the AI?
Yes! Use get_storage to retrieve the current LSON/JSON storage tree or patch_storage to update specific keys in the room's shared state. For Yjs-based rooms, you can use get_ydoc and update_ydoc.
Can I manage user comments and discussion threads through this integration?
Absolutely. You can use list_threads to see all discussions in a room, create_thread to start a new one, and resolve_thread to mark a discussion as completed.
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.
