Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Omni BI API Key?
Log in to your Omni instance, navigate to user settings or organization settings, and look for the API Tokens section to generate a new token.
Can I run raw SQL queries?
This implementation uses the run_omni_query tool which interacts with your defined data models (semantic layer). Raw SQL access depends on your specific model configuration in Omni.
What formats are supported for data export?
The export_query_results tool supports CSV, JSON, and XLSX formats. You will receive a temporary URL to download the requested file.
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.
