How to Use the Emma MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect Emma to my Windsurf environment?

Add the server details to your mcpconfig.json file within the Windsurf settings. Once you save, hit refresh in the MCP panel to give your agent access to your mailing data.

Q: Can Windsurf automate my Emma group creation?

Yes, Cascade handles the creategroup command autonomously. You just define the criteria, and the agent executes the build.

Q: Does Windsurf support real-time Emma stats?

Absolutely. Use getmailingstats to pull the latest open and click metrics directly into your current chat context.

Q: How does this handle Emma member data privacy?

The server treats your getmember requests as read-only operations within a restricted scope. It never stores your subscriber emails or PII on local disk.

Use the Emma MCP Server to manage your email marketing lists directly inside Windsurf and Cascade.

Automate list management in Windsurf

Stop switching tabs to update your marketing segments. Cascade can now use `create_group` to spin up new lists or `delete_group` when campaigns wrap up. Your agent handles the heavy lifting, ensuring your subscriber data stays synced without manual input.

Track campaign performance with Windsurf

Feed your agent raw data from `get_mailing_stats` to analyze what works. It pulls open and click rates so you can adjust your strategy in real-time. Reviewing `list_mailings` lets you see exactly what went out and when, keeping your content calendar transparent.

Deep member insights for Windsurf

Query specific subscriber details using `get_member` whenever you need to verify a contact's status. It pulls custom data points defined in `list_fields` for a complete view of your audience. You can also run `list_members` to audit your reach, letting Cascade identify segments that need attention.
