Terminal-Based SMS Alerts with Claude Code

The `send_sms` tool lets Claude Code dispatch critical system updates or server alerts directly to your team's phones from the terminal. You don't need to write custom Python scripts or log into a web dashboard. You can pipe terminal outputs or log files straight into your agent. It parses the system logs, extracts the error message, and sends the summary using your approved sender ID via the MCP connection.

Automated List Maintenance via CLI

With the `create_list` tool, Claude Code can set up temporary alert groups and add on-call engineer numbers during routine maintenance. It automates your on-call rotations by updating the active lists on the fly. Once the maintenance window closes, Claude Code cleans up your environment by running `delete_list` on temporary groups, keeping your AvoSMS dashboard uncluttered.

Quick Account and Balance Audits

The `get_account_check` tool lets Claude Code run quick health checks on your messaging infrastructure directly from your bash shell. It prints out connection statuses and verifies your API credentials in seconds. You can integrate these checks into your deployment scripts. If the balance falls below your threshold, the CLI agent can block a rollout or ping your billing team using this MCP toolset.
