FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I search for specific authors using their names or ORCID?

Yes! Use the search_author tool to find profiles by name or affiliation, or use get_author if you already have a specific Scopus Author ID to retrieve their full metrics and H-index.

How do I get a breakdown of citations per year for a specific paper?

You can use the get_citation_overview tool. Provide the DOI or Scopus ID and an optional date range (e.g., 2018-2023) to see how the document's impact has evolved over time.

Can the AI help me evaluate the quality of a journal?

Absolutely. By using the get_serial_title tool, your agent can retrieve official metrics like CiteScore, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank), and SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper) for any journal.

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.
