Frequently asked questions
Can my AI create and update records in Retable?
Yes. Use create_record to add new rows and update_record to modify existing ones. Both accept a JSON string with field values.
How do I query records from a specific table?
Use list_records with the table ID. The agent returns all rows with their field values.
Can I delete records through the AI?
Yes. The delete_record tool permanently removes a row from a table by table ID and record ID.
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.
