# Authkey MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Authkey MCP lets your AI agent send transactional SMS, voice OTPs, and emails directly. It connects your Authkey.io account to any MCP-compatible client so you can automate verification flows, dispatch high-fidelity voice alerts, and monitor your communication credits in one place. ## Overview - **Category:** communication-messaging - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_2kqsfbbsNjvtsbzHGPv5pNvntszTFMtMvOeALAp0/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** cpaas, otp-verification, transactional-email, voice-messaging, multi-channel-messaging, notifications ## Description Authkey lets you connect your Authkey.io account to any AI agent and take full control of your multi-channel communication and automated notification workflows through natural conversation. Usually, sending a verification code or a status update involves a lot of context switching. You have to open a dashboard, find the right template, and then manually trigger a message. If you're doing this for dozens of users a day, it's a massive drain on your time and prone to human error. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent do the work. You just tell the agent what needs to happen, and it handles the connection to Authkey.io. You get your notifications sent out instantly without ever leaving your primary workspace. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can plug it into your existing workflow and let your agent manage the logistics of multi-channel messaging. It's about moving from manual clicking to natural language commands for your entire notification stack. ## Tools ### list_templates View all your saved SMS and email templates.

The agent uses send_otp and waits for the user to provide the code to use verify_otp. ### Monitoring Marketing Spend A marketing lead asks 'How many SMS credits do I have left?' and the agent uses check_balance to provide an instant update on their remaining budget. ### Sending Order Confirmations A support lead tells the agent to 'Send an email confirmation to user #402.' The agent uses send_email to handle the task immediately. ### Bulk Outage Notifications A manager wants to notify 500 users of a system outage. The agent uses send_bulk_sms to handle the heavy lifting in one go. ## Benefits - Unified Communication: Manage SMS, voice, and email in one place instead of juggling three different provider dashboards. - Faster Security: Use send_otp and verify_otp to build 2FA flows that work instantly through your agent. - Real-time Visibility: Use check_balance to keep an eye on your credits without having to log into the Authkey dashboard. - Template Consistency: Use list_templates to ensure your AI always uses the correct brand-approved messaging for every notification. - Automated Voice Alerts: Trigger send_voice calls for urgent alerts using high-fidelity text-to-speech. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a unified way to manage all your outgoing communications through a single natural language interface. 1.
