Frequently asked questions
Is this safe to run against production Plaid accounts? Will the AI transfer money?
Yes, it is entirely safe. We deliberately designed the 20 tools purely for deep inspection (fetching assets, checking IDs, balancing ledgers). Endpoints capable of moving capital (like /transfer/create) were excluded. The worst the AI can do is give you a highly detailed dashboard of your expenses.
How does the agent analyze different bank accounts when I talk to it?
You hold the master Server keys (Client ID and Secret). When you ask the agent a question, you just paste or mention the unique access_token representing that customer's bank connection, and the AI automatically uses it under the hood.
Can it cross check watchlists (AML) and biometrics?
Yes. Tools like get_watchlist_screening and get_identity_verification hook directly into Plaid Identity, matching end-users to PEP (Politically Exposed Persons), OFAC, and global government watchlists instantaneously.
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.
