# Text In Church MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Text In Church MCP helps you manage your congregation directory and ministry groups directly through your AI client. It lets you send group texts, track visitor sign-ups, and keep your volunteer lists organized without switching tabs between your church management software and your chat interface. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_C70ZTlvkgmuogC4yd9GDbfruMnCJ1Duj1LfWBVXq/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** church-software, member-management, sms-marketing, community-engagement, volunteer-coordination, textinchurch ## Description Imagine you're trying to coordinate a massive volunteer shift for a community event while also trying to follow up with five new visitors who stopped by last Sunday. Right now, that probably means jumping between a messy spreadsheet, a church management dashboard, and your phone to send out reminders. This Connector changes that by letting your AI client handle the heavy lifting. You can ask your agent to pull up a specific ministry list, find the contact info for a new visitor, or send out a group text to your youth leaders, all from one place. It connects your Text In Church account so your agent knows exactly who's in which group and how to reach them. It's a big part of why the Vinkius catalog is so useful for ministry leads; it puts your entire congregation directory into a conversational interface. Instead of clicking through dozens of menu items to find a keyword or a member record, you just tell your agent what you need done. It's about getting your time back so you can focus on the people in your community rather than the data entry required to keep them organized. ## Tools ### list_church_keywords List active keywords. This helps you keep track of the automated triggers used for visitor responses. ### list_church_people List people in the church directory. Quickly see who is in your database without searching through complex filters. ### send_church_sms Send an SMS message to your congregation or a specific group. It is the fastest way to get a reminder out to your team. ### add_church_person Add a new person to your church directory. This helps you keep your records current without manual form entry. ### list_church_groups List church groups and ministries. Use this to see how your community is organized across different departments. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Who is in our youth group? ``` **Response:** ``` I've checked the directory. The **Youth Group** currently has 14 members. Would you like me to: * List their contact details? * Send a message to the whole group? * See which keywords are active for their sign-ups? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Add a new visitor named John Doe with the phone number 555-0199. ``` **Response:** ``` I've added **John Doe** to your church directory. He's now listed as a new visitor. Is there anything else you'd like to do with his record, such as assigning him to a group? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Send a reminder to the volunteers that the meeting is at 8 AM tomorrow. ``` **Response:** ``` Message sent! I've triggered the SMS alert to all members of the **Sunday Volunteers** group. They should receive the reminder shortly. ``` ## Capabilities ### Send group texts Blast reminders or updates to your entire volunteer team in one go. ### Add new visitors Log new people into your directory immediately from a chat prompt. ### View church groups See every active ministry and group in your organization instantly. ### Check active keywords Review the automated triggers used for sign-ups and visitor responses. ### Pull member contact info Get the details for specific members from your directory without manual searching. ## Use Cases ### Sending a last minute volunteer reminder A coordinator needs to remind 20 people about an 8 AM meeting. They ask the agent to notify the Sunday Volunteers group. ### Checking youth group membership A pastor wants to see who is currently in the youth group. They ask the agent to pull that specific list from the directory. ### Logging a new visitor on the spot An admin wants to add a visitor who just signed up. They tell the agent to add the person to the directory immediately. ### Auditing active sign up codes A ministry lead needs to see which keywords are active for the fall festival. They ask the agent to list them. ## Benefits - Stop manual data entry by logging new visitors the moment they arrive at your door. - Reach your whole team instantly with group texts instead of copying phone numbers into a separate app. - Keep your ministries organized by seeing every active group in your database at a glance. - Monitor your automated sign-ups by checking your active keywords whenever you need an update. - Get a bird's eye view of your congregation by pulling the entire directory into a single list. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a conversational way to manage your entire church communication suite. 1.
