Build contact sync scripts inside Cursor

The `create_contact` tool lets your editor build, test, and run customer profile creation scripts instantly. Your AI agent writes the code and executes the tool to test the API integration. Clean up your database using `update_contact` and `list_contacts` to verify your changes. You get real-time feedback on how your code handles contact schemas.

Generate and test messaging pipelines with this MCP Server

The `send_message` tool fires live text and WhatsApp payloads right from Cursor's agent mode. No more writing mock APIs or stubbing out communication endpoints. Debug your delivery pipelines by calling `list_messages` or `get_conversation` to check if your message went through. This speeds up your API integration work.

Track voice call logs during development

The `list_calls` tool displays voice metadata inside your coding environment. You can quickly see the structure of your call logs while building telephony features. Pull specific call records using `get_call` to verify properties like duration or status. It gives you raw data to match against your local database models.
