Frequently asked questions
Which models can I access?
Access all available endpoints including mistral-large-latest, mistral-small-latest, open-mixtral-8x22b, and mistral-embed.
How does Mistral authentication work?
Mistral requires an API Key sent as a Bearer token against api.mistral.ai/v1.
Can I generate vector embeddings?
Yes. Use the mistral-embed model to generate 1024-dimensional embeddings for your text data.
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.
