Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! MusicBrainz is completely free and open. No authentication required. Just subscribe and start searching. Rate limit is 1 request per second.
What is an MBID?
MBID stands for MusicBrainz Identifier — a unique UUID assigned to every entity in the database (artists, releases, recordings, labels, works). Use search tools to find MBIDs, then use get_* tools with the MBID for detailed info.
What's the difference between a release and a release group?
A release is a specific physical or digital version of an album (e.g. the 2012 remastered CD). A release group groups all versions of the same album together (e.g. "The Dark Side of the Moon" as a canonical work). Use release groups for finding the canonical album.
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.
