console.hail.so → Keys → New

Drop Hail into your config

Windsurf → Settings → MCP Servers → Add server

Reload the client. The Hail tools should surface in the agent's toolset. Send the prompt below — if a call is placed, an SMS lands, or an email shows up in the inbox view, you're done.

Cascade prompt: "Text +1-415-555-0123: deploy is green, ship it."
