Verify carrier registration with `lookup_filer_by_id`

The `lookup_filer_by_id` tool lets Windsurf query the FCC database to check if a specific carrier has an active Form 499 registration. Cascade takes the ID, runs the check, and maps the registration status directly to your workspace. If a telecom carrier fails compliance, Cascade chains the next steps. It writes the FCC audit report and flags the exact registration gaps without needing individual prompts for each step.

Run fuzzy provider searches using Windsurf Cascade

The `search_telecom_filers` tool allows Windsurf to run fuzzy string searches across the national telecom database by company brand. When you input a messy list of vendor names, Cascade iterates through the list, finds the matching legal entities, and standardizes your telecom vendor records. You do not need to clean the carrier names before feeding them to Cascade. Cascade takes the raw brand names, runs the fuzzy lookup, and outputs a clean JSON file with official FCC legal names.

Automate telecom audit pipelines in this MCP Server

This MCP Server exposes tools that let Windsurf pull official FCC data directly into your local configuration files. Cascade reads your active vendor list, executes `search_telecom_filers` to find their IDs, and then runs `lookup_filer_by_id` to verify their compliance status in one automated run. The entire telecom audit chain runs without manual hand-holding in Windsurf. You get a verified list of active VoIP and internet providers saved straight to your project directory.

Common questions about FCC Telecom MCP in Windsurf

Add the server configuration to your mcp_config.json file under the mcpServers key. Windsurf auto-detects the lookup and search tools, making them available to Cascade immediately.

Yes. Cascade uses the FCC Telecom server's `search_telecom_filers` tool to perform fuzzy matches on brand names. It returns the official legal names and filer IDs from the national database.

No. The FCC Telecom server executes database queries in milliseconds. Cascade chains `lookup_filer_by_id` calls rapidly, allowing you to audit dozens of carriers in under a minute.

The server returns an empty result block. Windsurf reads this output and flags the carrier as unregistered in your audit report.

The server runs in a zero-trust, ephemeral V8 isolate that never stores your query history. It fetches official Form 499 filer records directly from the public FCC API and discards the query parameters immediately after returning the results to Windsurf.
