Frequently asked questions
What formats can I get my transcripts in?
You can use the get_transcript tool to retrieve results in json, txt, or srt (subtitle) formats. Simply specify the format parameter when calling the tool.
Which voices are available for Text-to-Speech?
The generate_tts tool supports four high-quality voices: sarah, theo, megan, and jack. You can choose the one that best fits your content's tone.
How do I check if my transcription job is finished?
Use the get_job tool with your specific job_id. It will return the current status (e.g., running, completed) and metadata about the processing task.
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.
