Frequently asked questions
How do I find the filing history for a specific company?
Use the get_submissions tool with the company's Central Index Key (CIK). For example, Apple is 320193. The tool automatically handles leading zeros.
Can I retrieve specific financial metrics like 'Net Income' for a company?
Yes. Use get_company_concept by providing the CIK, the taxonomy (usually 'us-gaap'), and the XBRL tag (like 'NetIncomeLoss').
How can I compare a single metric across all companies for a specific year?
Use the get_xbrl_frames tool. You can specify a concept, unit, and period (e.g., 'CY2023') to get data for every reporting entity in that timeframe.

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?
