Frequently asked questions
How do I securely obtain my Quip Access Token?
Sign in to your Quip account. Navigate to your API token generator page (usually at platform.quip.com or via Quip's Developer Settings). Generate a Personal Access Token, copy the string, and securely save it in the configuration fields below.
Can I provide a Quip document URL to my AI, or just the ID?
You can provide the standard URL. The agent is capable of recognizing the URL structure, extracting the alphanumeric thread_id, and performing the operation accurately.
Can it read embedded images or files inside the document?
The agent detects their existence by reading the raw structure and uses list_blobs to catalog attachments. However, downloading the actual files depends on your client's supported capabilities.
Is the edit operation destructive?
The edit_document function uses Quip's native append logic to add new HTML blocks at the end of the document, mitigating complete overwrites. Additionally, Quip maintains a full version history allowing rollbacks if necessary.
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.
