How to Use the Airship MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf send test notifications to specific Airship devices?

Yes, by chaining listchannels and sendpushnotification in a single prompt. Cascade finds your test device ID and fires the Airship alert immediately. You can watch the delivery status update in real time.

Q: How does Windsurf handle complex Airship audience segments?

Cascade uses getsegmentdetails to inspect the exact rules of your target groups. It then cross-references those rules against your codebase to ensure your Airship push payloads match the expected schema.

Trigger Airship push notifications and manage mobile audiences directly from Windsurf's Cascade agent.

Run multi-step push campaigns with Windsurf Cascade

The `send_push_notification` tool lets your Windsurf agent transmit Airship alerts directly from your active codebase. Cascade chains this tool with `get_push_status` to verify Airship delivery metrics right after dispatching. Instead of waiting for manual confirmations, your Windsurf agent monitors the Airship push pipeline autonomously. You set the mobile target, and Cascade handles the Airship execution loop from draft to delivery receipt.

Map user profiles using the Airship MCP tool

The `associate_named_user` tool links specific Airship device channels to your database profiles inside Windsurf. Cascade queries `list_named_users` to find orphaned devices and binds them to active Airship profiles in one continuous run. This setup removes manual database lookup steps for your Airship channels inside Windsurf. Your Windsurf agent scans the Airship channel registry, identifies unlinked devices, and updates your user maps without requiring manual script execution.

Audit mobile segments using this MCP Server

The `list_segments` tool exposes your Airship audience groups so Windsurf Cascade can evaluate target criteria. Your Windsurf agent calls `get_segment_details` and `list_tags` to verify that your Airship marketing lists match actual developer builds. You don't need to open the Airship web dashboard to check who gets what alert when using Windsurf. Windsurf inspects the Airship audience rules, flags discrepancies, and updates your local targeting files instantly.
