MCP, Memories & Rules Launch 🚀

Introducing MCP, Memories & Rules

Unlock limitless possibilities with Model Context Protocol (MCP), empowering LLMs to seamlessly integrate with custom tools and services for enhanced productivity and innovation. Memories can be manually or automatically defined, and are persisted as context to better align the Cascade's outputs with the user's preferences.

Cascade Memories & Rules

• You can configure rules for Cascade Memories to follow. For example, you can use rules to specify if you want Cascade to respond in a certain language, communicate in a specific style, or use a specific API.
• Memories & Rules can be found & configured by clicking "Customizations" icon on the Cascade panel.
• Global rules are rules that will be applied to Cascade in all workspaces.
• Workspace rules are rules that will be applied to Cascade in the current workspace.
• Memories do not cost any flow action credits to generate.

Auto-Generated Memories

• Cascade can automatically generate memories to retain context between conversations.
• You can prompt Cascade to create a memory at any time if you want it to remember key context.
