Managing Contacts via the MCP Server

Need to find a person or update their details? You can use `search_contacts` to query our database, narrowing down results by name or other criteria. Once you've found them, `get_contact` pulls all the specific info you need, and `add_contact` lets you put new leads directly into a list.

Scheduling Social Posts with Windsurf

Setting up social media isn't just posting; it's about timing. Use `create_social_post` to draft and schedule content for multiple platforms in one go. Cascade handles the whole sequence, making sure your posts hit exactly when they should.

Automating Marketing Workflows

This is where Windsurf shines. Instead of just running a single action, you can `list_workflows` to see existing automation paths and then execute them with `trigger_workflow`. It’s how we turn simple campaigns into complex, multi-step processes.
