Perplexity

Full message control for Claude Desktop

Trigger `send_sms` or `send_bulk_sms` directly from your chat window. You can fire off alerts or marketing updates without switching tabs to the BulkSMS dashboard. Check your delivery stats using `get_message` to see if your contacts actually got the note. It puts live communication data right into your workspace.

Manage your contacts and groups

Use `list_groups` and `list_group_members` to see exactly who you are messaging. You won't have to guess which list you are targeting before you send. Claude Desktop pulls this data into the conversation so you can verify your reach. It turns your contact lists into actionable data points.

Monitor your BulkSMS account status

Run `get_profile` to check your credit balance before you commit to a large blast. Never get caught with zero credits when you need to send an important notice. Use `get_account_info` to keep tabs on your setup. It keeps your billing and usage details within reach of your MCP Server.
