Frequently asked questions
Can I get direct download links for my videos through the agent?
Yes. The get_video_source_files tool allows your agent to retrieve direct MP4 download links and stream URLs for different qualities (like 720p or 1080p), making it easy to share raw files or use them in other applications.
How do I add a video to a specific player?
Use the attach_video_to_player tool. You'll need to provide the player_id and the video_id. Your agent can help you find these IDs by listing your players and videos first.
Can I create new video players through conversation?
Absolutely. The create_empty_player tool lets you provision a new player container with a descriptive name. Once created, you can attach videos to it and manage its settings directly through your agent.
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.
