Script terminal-based SMS alerts with Claude Code

Send quick Bandwidth notifications without leaving your Claude Code terminal session. Claude Code executes `send_sms` to dispatch texts directly from your shell. You can pipe system error logs straight into Claude Code to send an emergency SMS. It makes setting up quick Bandwidth SMS alerts for server failures directly from your shell incredibly simple.

Inspect call states via Claude Code CLI

Track active Bandwidth voice calls directly inside your Claude Code session during system outages. Claude Code uses `get_call_state` to grab immediate diagnostics on any active call ID. It filters the Bandwidth JSON payload in your terminal, letting Claude Code find stuck calls instantly. No Bandwidth web dashboard required.

Audit active phone lines using the Claude Code MCP Server

Keep track of your provisioned Bandwidth numbers directly from your Claude Code SSH session. Claude Code calls `list_phone_numbers` to list your active service lines. It compares this Bandwidth output with your local files to identify unused phone numbers. You can clean up your Bandwidth inventory right from the command line.
