Manage SMS Campaigns from Chat

This server lets you run your entire SMS operation right from the Claude prompt. Create new contact lists with `create_list`, then add people to them using `add_contact`. You can check all your lists anytime with `list_lists` and even delete old ones with `delete_list`. It's not just about lists. You can request new sender IDs using `create_sender` and see which ones are approved with `list_senders`. This gives your agent full control over your AvoSMS account without you ever leaving the chat window.

Send Messages and See Responses

The `send_sms` tool is the main event. Just tell your agent what to send and to which list. It handles the rest. Before you send a big campaign, you can quickly check your account credit with `get_balance` to make sure you have enough. Wondering what people replied? The `list_responses` tool pulls in all incoming messages. You can ask Claude to summarize them, find specific replies, or flag messages that need a human follow-up. It turns your chat into a simple SMS command center.

Works with Your Claude Desktop Setup

Whether you use the native Claude Desktop app or just claude.ai in the browser, this AvoSMS server connects instantly. For the desktop app, you get the speed of a local MCP server connection. For the web, you just paste the URL and you're good to go. The connection is solid. The first thing your agent will do is run `get_account_check` to confirm everything is working. This simple check means you never have to guess if the tools are ready to use. It just works.
