Build automated SMS alerts inside VS Code with Cline

This MCP Server provides the `send_sms` and `send_bulk_sms` tools to let Cline write, test, and execute messaging scripts from your coding workspace. Tell Cline to write a Python script that alerts your team on build failures, and it will generate the script and send a test SMS to confirm it works. Because Cline has full terminal access, it can install dependencies, write the integration code, and use these tools to test the BulkSMS API connection without you writing a single line of boilerplate.

Inspect sent messages and delivery logs in Cline

This MCP Server exposes the `list_messages` and `get_message` tools so Cline can audit your messaging history directly from your sidebar. When debugging a notification workflow, ask Cline to check the status of the last five texts to see if they were delivered or bounced. Cline reads the raw API response, parses the delivery codes, and tells you exactly why a message failed, saving you from digging through the BulkSMS web console.

Manage BulkSMS contact lists during active development

This MCP Server connects Cline to your contact lists using `list_groups` and `list_group_members`. If you are building a marketing tool, Cline can query your groups, extract the active numbers, and use them to populate your local test databases. It can also check that new test contacts are correctly added to your remote BulkSMS groups before you push your code changes to staging.
