Frequently asked questions
How do I generate a Workast API Token?
Log in to Workast, go to your profile icon, select Preferences > API, and click 'Generate new token' to create your unique access credential.
What is a 'Space' in Workast?
A Space is a container for your task lists. It is typically used to organize different projects, client work, or team-specific channels within your workspace.
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.
