Key Capabilities
Smarty Location Intelligence for Windsurf
Cascade reads context and knows it needs location data. It automatically chains multiple tools—like running `autocomplete_us_address` first, then passing the result to `validate_intl_address`—to ensure the final address is accurate. This means you set a goal (e.g., 'Validate this shipment'), and Cascade figures out the full sequence of calls across the Smarty MCP Server without you having to write complex orchestration code.
Extracting Addresses with Windsurf
Need to parse raw text from a document? Use the `extract_addresses` tool. Cascade scans unstructured data and isolates physical addresses, emails, or other key identifiers. The agent then hands these extracted strings off to validation tools like `validate_us_address`, letting you build clean datasets instantly within your workflow.
Account Data Retrieval via Windsurf
Sometimes you just need basic context. Cascade can call the `get_account_info` tool to pull smarty account details right into your plan. This is useful for logging or setting up user-specific logic. It adds necessary meta-information to the workflow, keeping everything running smoothly without requiring manual API key handling in every step.
