How to Use the Bandwidth MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I set up the Bandwidth MCP Server inside Windsurf?

Edit your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file to add the server under the mcpServers key. Cascade immediately detects the new MCP tools like sendsms and displays them in your MCP panel.

Q: How does Windsurf manage media attachments on Bandwidth?

Cascade uses listmedia to check your remote files and sendmms to transmit them. You do not have to manually upload files or copy URLs since the agent handles the file references directly.

Q: What happens if a Bandwidth API call fails during a Cascade run?

Cascade calls gethealth to verify the connection status of the messaging endpoint. If a timeout occurs, the agent reads the error payload and retries the operation automatically.

Trigger Cascade to send texts, manage media, and audit 10DLC campaigns directly inside your Windsurf editor.

Automated Messaging Pipelines in Windsurf

`send_sms` and `send_mms` tools let Cascade handle real-time messaging directly from your workspace context. This MCP Server lets Cascade chain these tools to send confirmation texts or media payloads automatically when files change in your project. You supply the logic, and Cascade acts as your terminal, dispatching Bandwidth messages and saving the logs. Cascade checks the status of outbound communications without requiring manual code execution.

Dynamic Media Storage Management

`list_media` and `delete_media` give your Cascade agent direct control over your Bandwidth cloud storage. Cascade scans your local Windsurf project assets, uploads what you need, and removes stale media files to keep your storage footprint clean. The agent inspects the remote Bandwidth file index before running cleanups. Instead of writing shell scripts to curl the Bandwidth API, you let Cascade organize your hosted assets programmatically.

Compliance Auditing and Campaign Tracking

`list_campaigns` and `get_campaign` expose your active 10DLC registration data to Cascade for automated compliance checks. Cascade matches your local Windsurf configurations against live carrier registry details to catch validation issues early. It also queries `get_toll_free` to verify number verification status. Cascade keeps your messaging pipelines active and avoids silent carrier blocks.
