# Dexatel MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Dexatel MCP lets your AI agent send SMS messages, monitor delivery statuses, and manage your contact list through the Dexatel API. It connects your agent to a global SMS gateway so you can handle business communications, track campaign performance, and pull customer history without leaving your chat interface. ## Overview - **Category:** communication-messaging - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_rexEAcT85fmTV8A5KDLVzMUKJ6DJZGbYWnAxCZNA/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** sms-gateway, business-messaging, cloud-communications, delivery-tracking, contact-management, bulk-messaging ## Description Instead of jumping between tabs to check if a message actually hit a phone, you can now ask your agent to handle the heavy lifting. This Connector connects your AI client to Dexatel's communication suite, giving it the ability to push out SMS messages globally and pull back the data you need to know they arrived. It's about getting rid of the manual copy-pasting between a CRM and a messaging portal. You can ask your agent to find a specific customer's history, check if your credits are running low, or send out a notification based on a specific trigger. It turns your chat window into a command center for your business communications. Since Vinkius hosts this connection, you can plug it into your existing workflow and start moving data between your contacts and your outgoing messages instantly. You're not just sending texts; you're managing a live communication loop where the AI keeps track of the details so you don't have to. ## Tools ### get_account_balance_metadata Check your current Dexatel credit balance and account info.
