Frequently asked questions
Can I progress an order to 'Shipped' natively inside Cursor?
Yes! Provide the order token context to the AI (or ask it to fetch recent orders) and instruct: 'Mark order SNIP-1234 as Shipped'. The agent will call the update_order_status endpoint, and your Snipcart dashboard will instantly sync up the new status.
Can the AI distinguish my test vs live orders?
The distinction entirely relies on which Secret API Key you supply. Snipcart has dedicated keys for 'Live' mode and 'Test' mode. Whichever key is saved in your credential injection config governs the space the AI operates within.
How do I check a customer's total spending history using LLMs?
Tell your AI to 'Look up the customer John Doe in Snipcart and fetch their details'. The agent first polls list_customers for the user directory ID, and then passes the match to get_customer_details to return their detailed transaction history completely synthesized for you.
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.
