Manage Communication Templates in Windsurf

You don't have to manually check template status. Use `list_message_templates` to see every available template, and then use `get_media` or `get_business_profile` to confirm the account details are correct. After reviewing the templates, you can send a message using `send_template_message`. Cascade handles the whole sequence: check the profile, list what's there, and fire off the required communication.

Examine WABA Account Status

Need to know exactly what your WhatsApp Business Account (WABA) can do? The `get_waba_details` tool pulls all the current account parameters. You'll also find `list_phone_numbers`, which lets you see every number attached to that account. This gives you a clear picture before writing any code. Windsurf processes this data and presents it directly in your context panel.

Send Text or Template Messages via MCP Server

Sending messages is straightforward, even if the process changes. You can send a structured template using `send_template_message`, or you can use the direct API call for simple communication with `send_text_message`. If you need to clean up old templates first, just run `delete_message_template`. This MCP Server makes sure your messaging pipeline stays current.
