Frequently asked questions
How can I see all cards belonging to a specific person?
Use the list_cards_by_user tool by providing the user's unique token. The agent will return a list of all physical and virtual cards associated with that account holder.
How do I add money to a user's card account?
You can use the create_gpa_order tool. You'll need the user token, the amount, currency code, and a funding source token to move funds into their General Purpose Account.
Is it possible to register a legal entity instead of an individual?
Yes, use the create_business tool to create a business entity. You can then retrieve its details using the get_business tool with the business token.
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.
