Frequently asked questions
Can I determine if a name is male or female using this server?
Yes! Use the get_gender tool by providing a first and last name. The AI will return the likely gender along with a confidence score.
How do I split a full name string into first and last names?
You can use the parse_name tool. Just provide the full name string, and it will return the structured components.
Does this support US Census race and ethnicity categories?
Yes, the get_us_race_ethnicity tool classifies names into White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander (API), and Hispanic categories based on US Census 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.
