Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find my RenderForm templates?
Yes! Use the list_templates tool. Your agent will respond with complete metadata for all your templates, including their IDs and descriptions in seconds.
How do I get an API key?
Log in to your RenderForm dashboard and navigate to the API Keys tab in your account section to copy your unique secret key.
Can I use dynamic data for my images?
Yes, you can pass a data object to the render_image tool to replace text, images, and colors in your templates programmatically via natural language.
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.
