### Working Servers (All 3 Required)
1. **Main SMS App**: `python src/app.py` (port 5000)
2. **UI Automation Bridge**: `python simple_ui_bridge.py` (port 5002)
3. **Ngrok Tunnel**: `.\ngrok http 5000` (for Twilio webhooks)
### Optional MCP Integration
- **SMS MCP**: `python working_sms_mcp_bridge.py` ✅ Working (11 powerful tools)
## 🔄 SMS-to-Cursor Automation Workflow
### Complete Execution Pipeline
1. **📱 SMS Received** → Twilio webhook triggers Flask app
2. **🤖 AI Processing** → Gemini 2.5 Flash interprets the command
3. **💻 Cursor Execution** → Automated UI injection or MCP tool execution
4. **📊 Result Capture** → System captures Cursor's response and actions
5. **📤 Summary Generation** → AI creates execution summary with details
6. **📱 SMS Response** → User receives confirmation with what was accomplished
### Example Automation Flow
```
📱 SMS: "Create a Python calculator script"
↓
🤖 AI: Interprets as CREATE_FILE action for calculator.py
↓
💻 Cursor: Opens chat, types command, creates calculator.py file
↓
📊 Capture: "File created: calculator.py with basic operations"
↓
📤 Summary: "✅ Python calculator created! Added +, -, *, / functions"
↓
📱 Response: User receives SMS with execution summary
```
## 🔧 MCP Configuration That Works
### Critical File Location
Cursor's MCP configuration: `C:\Users\[username]\.cursor\mcp.json`
### Working JSON Format
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"sms-cursor-bridge": {
"command": "C:/ProgramData/miniconda3/Scripts/conda.exe",
"args": [
"run",
"-p",
"C:\\Users\\arunk\\.conda\\envs\\siri",
"--no-capture-output",
"python",
"c:\\Users\\arunk\\Automated_Siri_cursor_control\\working_sms_mcp_bridge.py"
]
}
}
}
```
### Key MCP Configuration Points
- ✅ **Use full Conda path**: `C:/ProgramData/miniconda3/Scripts/conda.exe`
- ✅ **Activate environment**: `-p C:\\Users\\[username]\\.conda\\envs\\[env_name]`
- ✅ **Absolute paths**: No relative paths allowed
- ✅ **Proper escaping**: Use `\\\\` for Windows paths in JSON
- ✅ **No capture output**: `--no-capture-output` prevents interference
