Key Capabilities
Test Live SMS APIs in Cursor
The `send_sms` tool lets Cursor send real text messages to your test devices while you write your backend code. You no longer need mock wrappers because your MCP Server executes actual API calls during your debug sessions. Use `check_protexting_status` to verify your API connection is alive before deploying your code. This gives you instant feedback in the terminal so you don't waste time troubleshooting network issues.
Generate Code Using Active MCP Server Data
The `get_account` tool pulls your live profile details so Cursor can generate exact configuration files matching your account. Your editor writes integration scripts based on your actual limits instead of generic templates. Run `list_keywords` to let your agent see your active shortcode keywords while writing inbound message handlers. This ensures your code routes customer replies to the correct logic paths automatically.
Automate Contact Syncing in Your Editor
The `create_contact` tool lets Cursor register test users in your database during local development. You can verify how your app handles subscriber creation without leaving your workspace. Call `list_contacts` to pull real subscriber records into your editor context for testing data-mapping functions. This keeps your schema validation accurate to what the production API actually returns.
