Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Authorize and Confirm in Zip?
Authorize initiates the transaction and checks for customer funds. Confirm (used in some regions) finalizes the checkout intent before capture.
Can I process partial captures via the agent?
Yes, the capture_zip_payment tool accepts an optional JSON body where you can specify a partial amount to capture if only part of the order is shipping.
How do I handle different regions like US and AU?
Specify your account region ('US' or 'AU') in the configuration settings. The MCP server automatically routes requests to the correct Zip gateway URL.
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.
