Frequently asked questions
Can I check the status of a specific file assembly?
Yes, just provide the Assembly ID to the agent, and it will return the real-time processing status and output URLs.
Does it support triggering new conversions?
You can trigger new pipelines if you supply a valid Template ID and the source file URLs.
How do I list my active templates?
Ask the AI to 'List all Transloadit templates' and it will retrieve your available processing recipes.
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.
