Frequently asked questions
How can I filter a datatable for a specific ticker and date range?
Use the get_datatable tool and provide a JSON string in the filters parameter, such as {"ticker": "AAPL", "date.gt": "2023-01-01"}. This allows you to narrow down results precisely.
How do I check which columns are available in a dataset before querying it?
Run the get_datatable_metadata tool with the vendor_code and table_code. It will return the table's schema, including column names, types, and which fields support filtering.
What should I do if the dataset is too large for a standard query?
For very large datasets, use the request_bulk_download tool. This initiates an asynchronous export process. Once the status reaches 'SUCCEEDED', you can use get_bulk_download_file to retrieve the 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.
