Automating Mail Retrieval via MCP Server

Need to know what arrived? Use `list_mail_items` to pull a list of all mail items managed by the UK Postbox. Cascade can then take that output and automatically call `get_mail_item` for each one, giving you a detailed summary without you writing a loop. This means you set your goal—like 'figure out what's in my box today'—and Windsurf handles all the necessary steps using the MCP Server. It shows you the full result.

Sending Letters with Windsurf

The `send_letter` tool lets your agent handle physical correspondence. You provide the recipient’s name, their full address, and the letter content; Windsurf executes the send command. If you need to track where mail is going, Cascade can first use `list_addresses` to confirm a valid forwarding target before executing the letter send. It keeps everything chained together.

Tracking Parcels with MCP Server

To see what's arriving, start by calling `list_parcels`. This gives you an overview of every parcel associated with your account. If you need specifics on a single package, the agent can automatically grab the identifier and then invoke `get_parcel` to provide full details. You never have to switch context between listing and retrieving.
