Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the delivery status for a specific SMS by its transaction ID?
Yes! Use the get_status tool with the Transaction ID (MTID). Your agent will respond with the current delivery state (e.g., Delivered, Failed, or Pending) in seconds.
How do I find my OneWaySMS API Username and Password?
Log in to your OneWaySMS dashboard, navigate to the API section, and you will find your dedicated API Username and API Password (which are different from your web login).
What is the character limit for ASCII vs Unicode messages?
Standard ASCII messages allow up to 160 characters per SMS. Unicode messages (which support special characters and emojis) are limited to 70 characters per SMS.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
