Frequently asked questions
How do I create a public share link for a specific folder?
Use the create_share tool. Provide the path to your folder and set shareType to 3 (Public Link). You can also optionally set a password for added security.
Can I change my online status message using the AI?
Yes! You can use set_user_status to change your availability (e.g., 'dnd', 'away') and set_user_status_message to set a custom text and emoji icon.
Is it possible to see which apps are enabled on my Nextcloud server?
Absolutely. Use the get_capabilities tool to retrieve a full list of server features, version information, and all currently enabled applications.
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.
