How can I check if a specific user is currently online in a channel?

You can use the presence_here_now tool to see a list of all active UUIDs in a specific channel, or presence_where_now to find all channels a specific UUID is currently subscribed to.

Can the AI retrieve past messages from a channel?

Yes, the get_message_history tool allows the agent to fetch historical messages from one or more channels, including metadata and specific time ranges.

Is it possible to manage user profiles and metadata through this server?

Absolutely. You can use set_user to create or update profiles and get_user to retrieve them. You can also manage channel metadata using set_channel and get_channel.

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.
