Perplexity

Terminal-Driven SMS MCP Server Messaging

`send_sms` and `send_mms` turn your CLI session into a direct messaging gateway. The MCP Server lets Claude Code pipe script outputs, deployment alerts, or system resource warnings directly to target phone numbers. You do not need to open a browser or write custom curl scripts. The terminal-only Claude Code agent handles the API handshake and returns clean JSON logs.

Headless Registry Status Audits

`list_campaigns` and `get_campaign` fetch your 10DLC registration details directly to stdout. Claude Code parses these campaign states during CI/CD checks to ensure your routing numbers remain compliant. It queries `get_toll_free` to verify carrier approval metrics. This gives you a fast way to run compliance checks before pushing changes to production.

Command-Line Media Storage Management

`list_media` and `delete_media` allow Claude Code to manage your remote assets without a GUI. The agent lists your stored media files and purges expired attachments via simple shell commands. It chains these operations to automate cleanup tasks in your cron jobs. You manage your remote storage footprint completely from the terminal.
