How to Use the Twilio MCP in Windsurf

Q: How does Twilio help Windsurf check my account status?

Windsurf calls getaccountinfo to pull the master Twilio account details. This gives your agent a real-time view of overall service health, so you don't have to guess if everything is running smoothly.

Q: Can I use Windsurf to list my phone numbers?

Absolutely. Your agent runs listphonenumbers and pulls every owned number into the current context. This lets you easily identify which lines are available for a new campaign or call.

Q: How can I check billing details with Twilio and Windsurf?

Windsurf runs getusagerecords to pull current usage statistics and detailed billing information. This gives you a clear picture of costs, ensuring your communication workflows stay within budget.

Manage Outbound Voice Calls

Need to initiate a call? Start with `create_voice_call`. You just provide the caller ID, the receiver number, and the TwiML URL. Cascade handles the rest, spinning up an outbound voice connection. It's perfect for goal-oriented tasks like 'notify the user about the delay.' Windsurf executes the call sequence autonomously without you having to prompt each step.

Handle SMS Messaging

You can manage text messages directly. Use `send_sms` when your goal requires notifying a client; just supply the sender and target E.164 numbers. You also have `delete_message`, which permanently removes an SMS record—be sure you know this action is irreversible. Cascade handles multi-step messaging goals, letting you draft a sequence of alerts or confirmations in one go.

Retrieve Usage Data

Getting account status shouldn't require seven different API calls. Call `get_usage_records` to pull billing stats and usage data immediately. You can also list current operational details by checking all call queues with `list_call_queues` or listing recent activity via `list_calls`. Windsurf uses these tools together: 'Check our spending vs. last month' triggers a single, comprehensive action that pulls the necessary billing and usage data.'

Absolutely. Your agent runs `list_phone_numbers` and pulls every owned number into the current context. This lets you easily identify which lines are available for a new campaign or call.

You just give Cascade the Recording SID (the one starting with RE). It uses `get_recording_details` to pull all the metadata you need. This is far faster than digging through a console log.

The server touches SMS message records and associated metadata when using `get_message_details`. Remember that `delete_message` makes those records inaccessible forever.

Windsurf runs `get_usage_records` to pull current usage statistics and detailed billing information. This gives you a clear picture of costs, ensuring your communication workflows stay within budget.
