How to Use the ActiveTrail MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I install the ActiveTrail MCP server in Windsurf?

Open your mcpconfig.json or use the Cascade settings UI. Add the server details and click refresh in the MCP panel to sync the tools.

Q: Can Windsurf and ActiveTrail send SMS messages automatically?

Cascade can execute the sendsms tool as part of a multi-step plan. You still approve the final action if your settings require it, but the agent writes and formats the payload.

Q: What marketing data can the ActiveTrail MCP access?

It reads your sent and draft emails via listcampaigns and pulls subscriber directories using listcontacts. The agent uses this data to inform your code changes.

Q: Does Windsurf support ActiveTrail group segmentation?

Yes. The agent calls listgroups to understand your current audience segments. This helps when you need to hardcode specific group IDs into your application logic.

Let Windsurf Cascade manage your ActiveTrail campaigns and contacts without leaving the editor.

Chain marketing tasks with Windsurf

Cascade reads your project context and figures out the next move. If you tell it to build a new sign-up flow, it writes the frontend code and automatically calls `create_contact` to test the integration. You don't have to prompt it twice. Need to notify users about a downtime event? Cascade pulls the affected users via `list_contacts`, filters them by segment using `list_groups`, and fires off alerts through `send_sms`. It handles the entire sequence while you watch.

Connect the ActiveTrail MCP Server

Dropping this MCP Server into your workspace bridges your codebase directly to your marketing automation. Cascade checks your draft statuses with `list_campaigns` before letting you deploy a matching landing page. You manage the connection right in the MCP panel. Hit refresh, and Windsurf immediately understands how to talk to the ActiveTrail API without you writing a single custom fetch request.

Trigger real-time notifications

Sometimes you need to test SMS delivery during development. Instead of switching tabs to the ActiveTrail dashboard, just ask Cascade to hit `send_sms` with your test phone number. The agent grabs the exact payload requirements and executes the send. It can even verify the test user exists first by checking `list_contacts`.
