How to Use the MessageBird MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can MessageBird tools in Windsurf handle batching?

You can script loops in your files that call sendsms for each contact. Cascade will execute those calls sequentially based on your logic.

Q: What happens if my MessageBird balance is low in Windsurf?

Cascade can run getbalance before any dispatch task. If it sees your credits are gone, it stops the process to avoid errors.

Windsurf connects directly to your MessageBird account so Cascade can handle your global SMS campaigns and contact lookups automatically.

Automate SMS delivery in Windsurf

Cascade uses `send_sms` to trigger messages directly from your codebase. It checks your current funds with `get_balance` before firing off any requests to ensure you never hit a wall during a campaign. Once the message leaves your system, Cascade uses `list_messages` to verify receipt. You don't have to manually track logs or switch tabs to confirm delivery.

Manage your contacts through this MCP Server

You can ask Cascade to pull details for any user using `get_contact` or `get_group`. It creates a direct link between your code and your live customer data without you needing to export CSV files. When you need to audit your lists, `list_contacts` and `list_groups` provide the raw data immediately. Cascade processes these lists in the background while you focus on writing the actual logic.

Run network checks before you send

Before you blast out thousands of texts, have Cascade run `list_hlr` to check the validity of your numbers. This prevents wasted spend on inactive lines and keeps your delivery rates high. It also lets you audit your active channels via `list_channels` so you know exactly how the traffic is routed. Everything stays inside your Windsurf environment.
