Send terminal notifications using the BulkSMS MCP Server

This MCP Server enables `send_sms` and `send_bulk_sms` inside your terminal session, letting Claude Code dispatch text alerts from your CLI. You can pipe build logs or server status alerts directly to Claude Code and have it text your on-call team when a deployment fails. It eliminates the need for curl scripts or custom node runtimes just to send a quick notification. Claude Code handles the API payload formatting and sends the text immediately.

Query SMS delivery status from your CLI

This MCP Server uses `get_message` and `list_messages` to let Claude Code fetch delivery receipts right in your terminal. When a customer complains about a missing alert, you can ask Claude Code to find the message ID and check its status without leaving your SSH session. The agent parses the timestamps and delivery codes, printing a clean summary of the message journey directly to your stdout.

Check your messaging budget and profile via terminal

This MCP Server provides `get_profile` and `get_account_info` to let Claude Code monitor your account health from the command line. SREs can write cron jobs that ask Claude Code to check remaining credits and trigger an alert if the balance drops below a set threshold. You get instant access to your account details, routing profiles, and credit levels without opening a browser or logging into the BulkSMS web portal.
