Full list and subscriber control

Cascade handles your mailing data by calling `create_subscriber` or `patch_subscriber` based on your project requirements. You define the criteria, and the agent executes the updates without leaving your editor. This MCP Server lets you organize your audience by interacting with `list_lists` to pull existing structures. You get a clear view of your data without switching windows.

Campaign management in Windsurf

Trigger `create_campaign` through the IDE to start new mailing efforts instantly. Once the draft exists, you can toggle its state using `update_campaign_status` to fit your release schedule. You avoid manual dashboard navigation by letting Cascade handle the heavy lifting. It calls `list_campaigns` to report on progress while you focus on the code.

Automated transactional messaging

Send emails directly from your workspace using `send_transactional_message` with your pre-defined templates. The agent maps your variables to the template placeholders to ensure the right data hits the right inbox. Check your media assets with `list_media` before sending to verify attachments. It keeps your communication flow tightly coupled with your development tasks.
