Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum text length for AI detection?
Yes, Winston AI typically requires at least 300 characters for an accurate assessment of whether the text is human or AI-generated.
Can I check if an image from a URL was created by AI?
Absolutely. Use the detect_ai_image tool and provide the public image URL. The AI will analyze it for signs of generation or manipulation.
How reliable is the fact-checking tool?
The tool cross-references claims against trusted online databases and sources to provide a verification score and identifying supporting evidence.
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.
