.windsurfrulesthat teaches Cascade when and how to use the VirtualSMS MCP server for account verification, number rentals and proxies.
What this is
VirtualSMS is an account verification platform for developers and AI agents. It combines one-time SMS verification, dedicated number rentals, matching-country proxies and private cloud browser sessions behind one API, one MCP server and one prepaid balance.
A single .windsurfrules file that activates Cascade's awareness of the
VirtualSMS MCP server
whenever your agent needs to receive an SMS code, acquire a verification
phone number, rent a number, buy a proxy, or launch a cloud browser session.
Same virtualsms-mcp npm package that powers Claude, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, and 6 other MCP clients.
Carrier-issued mobile numbers across 2500+ services and 145+ countries (growing weekly), 40 MCP tools.
Quick install: Hosted (recommended, zero install)
Paste this into your AI assistant's MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"virtualsms": {
"type": "streamableHttp",
"url": "https://mcp.virtualsms.io/mcp",
"headers": { "x-api-key": "vsms_your_api_key_here" }
}
}
}
No npm install, no Node.js required on the client. The MCP server runs at mcp.virtualsms.io.

Quick install: Local (stdio via npm)

Numbers
VirtualSMS numbers are carrier-issued mobile numbers, backed by real physical SIM cards on operators like Vodafone, O2 and T-Mobile, not VoIP. Carrier-lookup APIs flag VoIP and eSIM ranges, and services that care, such as Tinder, Discord, WhatsApp, OnlyFans, Hinge and banking apps, can silently reject those numbers. Carrier-issued mobile numbers pass these checks more reliably.
