Frequently asked questions
Why does it require an API key?
While the SEC and Treasury APIs do not require keys, the Census Bureau requires a free API key to handle the massive volume of hyper-local data (thousands of variables across millions of geographies). The key prevents rate limiting and ensures stable connections.
What geographies can I query?
This MCP limits the main built-in endpoints to State, County and Place (cities). Detailed geometries like zip-codes, tracts, or congressional districts can be queried utilizing the query_census custom tool.
Is Puerto Rico included?
Yes! Puerto Rico is treated internally as state FIPS code 72.
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.
