Frequently asked questions
Can I create courses and enrol students?
Yes. Create courses with full metadata, then enrol users with specific role IDs (student, teacher, manager).
How does Moodle authentication work?
Moodle requires your Site URL and an API Token (wstoken). The token is passed as a query parameter to the Web Service REST endpoint.
Can I retrieve student grades?
Yes. Retrieve grade items and results for any user within a specific course using their course and user IDs.
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.
