How to Use the AT&T Messaging MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline manage my AT&T Messaging shortcodes autonomously?

Yes, Cline can run createshortcode to provision new numbers and deleteshortcode to retire them. It handles the complete lifecycle based on your natural language instructions.

Q: Does AT&T Messaging work with Cline to track text delivery?

The agent calls getmessagestatus to check the real-time delivery state of any message ID. It helps you debug routing issues directly from your terminal output.

Q: Can I send bulk texts using this MCP configuration?

sendbulksms allows Cline to dispatch messages to 164 numbers in a single action. It processes the recipient array and reports back on any failed deliveries.

Perplexity

Deploy instant SMS notifications from Cline

`send_sms` sends transactional alerts, OTPs, or customer notifications to any E.164 phone number. Cline runs this tool directly from your code workspace, immediately mapping the returned message ID to your application database. If a user reports a missing text, Cline calls `get_message_status` to verify delivery. This lets the agent debug API issues and write fixes without you opening an external portal.

Build dynamic MMS campaigns in VS Code

`send_mms` attaches images or visual alerts to your customer messages using a sender ID and a media URL. Cline writes the code to host your assets, passes the URL to the tool, and fires the message. This MCP Server lets your agent build rich marketing workflows end-to-end. Cline tests the media endpoints, sends the MMS, and logs the results in your workspace files.

Audit messaging history inside the Cline sidebar

`list_messages` retrieves your entire outbound and inbound history, complete with timestamps and text snippets. Cline pulls this raw audit trail to build local CSV reports or verify compliance logs. The agent uses `get_keyword_responses` to cross-reference these logs against your active auto-replies. It ensures your opt-out keywords actually stop sending messages to unsubscribed users.
