FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I find all NIH grants awarded to a specific university?

Use the search_projects tool and provide the university name in the org_names array. You can also refine the search by adding fiscal_years to see awards for a specific period.

Can I see which publications resulted from a specific NIH project number?

Yes! Use the search_publications tool and enter the project identifier in the core_project_nums field. The agent will return a list of associated PubMed records.

Is it possible to filter research projects by funding amount?

Absolutely. The search_projects tool includes an award_amount_range parameter where you can specify min_amount and max_amount to find projects within your budget criteria.

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.
