Perplexity

Automate SMS delivery with Windsurf

The `send_sms_message` tool lets Cascade dispatch texts directly from your editor. You define the notification triggers in your backend logic, and Windsurf tests the integration by actually firing off the messages to your test numbers. Instead of hardcoding message strings, you can point Cascade at `list_sms_templates` to pull approved formats. If you need to verify which numbers you can send from, it checks `list_authorized_sender_ids` before executing the send command. The agent handles the entire sequence.

Debug delivery issues inside the IDE

Use `list_failed_sms_deliveries` to figure out exactly why your messages bounce. When a user complains about missing authentication codes, Cascade pulls the failure logs right into your terminal panel. You can dig deeper using `get_sms_message_details` to inspect carrier responses for specific message IDs. If you need to find a needle in a haystack, tell Windsurf to run `search_sms_by_content` and locate every text containing a specific error code or keyword.

Dexatel MCP Server contact management

Running `list_messaging_contacts` gives your agent read access to your entire Dexatel address book. Windsurf can cross-reference your local database seeded data with the actual contacts stored in the messaging platform. It can also pull individual histories using `get_contact_profile` to see every interaction with a specific user. Before you run a massive test suite that blasts hundreds of texts, Cascade can run `get_account_balance_metadata` to ensure you have enough credits to cover the run.

Setup guide

Set up Dexatel MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Dexatel MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Dexatel payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Dexatel tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Dexatel MCP in Windsurf

Open `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` and add the server block under `mcpServers`. You can also use the Settings UI under the Cascade tab. Click refresh, and Cascade will instantly recognize the new tools.

Yes. When you configure the agent with your API credentials, it executes real commands. It will spend actual credits when invoking the send tools, so use test numbers during development.

You likely have a malformed JSON config or missing authentication tokens. Verify your API key is exposed to the MCP environment variables. Check the Cascade output logs for specific connection errors.

Just ask Cascade to check your credits. It will call the balance metadata tool and return your current available funds before you run any heavy messaging tasks.

Vinkius isolates your environment using a V8 sandbox. When the agent pulls phone numbers and message histories via the contact profile tools, that data stays in memory and disappears when the session dies. We pass auth tokens directly to the provider, bypassing our own storage entirely.
