What you can do with this MCP connector
Dexatel MCP Server - Send and Track SMS Messages lets your AI agent handle all your cloud communications. You'll send SMS messages globally, track delivery status, and manage your contacts—all just by chatting with your agent. You never gotta touch a dashboard to get things done.
Sending and Managing Messages
send_sms_message sends a new SMS message to a specified phone number. search_sms_by_content searches through all message records for specific keywords or numbers. list_sms_messages lists all sent and received SMS messages, and you can filter that list. get_sms_message_details pulls detailed information and the status for one specific SMS message. list_failed_sms_deliveries identifies and lists messages that failed to deliver to a recipient. list_sms_templates lists all message templates approved for use.
Contact and Account Management
list_messaging_contacts pulls a list of every contact in your Dexatel address book. get_contact_profile gets the full profile and the entire message history for a single contact. get_account_balance_metadata retrieves your current account credit balance and usage metadata. list_authorized_sender_ids lists every authorized Sender ID and virtual number you've set up.
How It Works
Your AI client uses these tools to act on your behalf. You just tell your agent what you need—like, 'Send a message to 555-1234' or 'What was the status of message 1234?'—and it handles the API calls and data retrieval. It's all done through natural chat, meaning you don't gotta jump between apps or deal with complex UIs.
You'll use your authorized Sender IDs and virtual numbers to send messages, and you'll always know your account status and where your contacts are kept.
How Dexatel MCP Works
- 1 Connect the Dexatel integration to your AI client and authorize it with your API key.
- 2 Tell your agent the action you want (e.g., 'Check my balance' or 'Send an SMS to 123-456-7890').
- 3 The agent executes the necessary tool calls, pulling the data and reporting the result back to you in plain language.
The bottom line is you use natural conversation to manage complex, multi-step communication tasks.
Who Is Dexatel MCP For?
Marketing managers who need to check campaign delivery status on the fly. Support agents who need to pull a customer's full message history without opening a dashboard. Business owners who need to monitor credit balances or send notifications instantly.
Pulls a customer's full profile and messages history during a live chat session. Needs to know if the last message was delivered and when.
Checks campaign delivery statuses and message logs instantly to confirm if a bulk send was successful or if specific messages failed.
Monitors the account credit balance and sends urgent notifications programmatically, without logging into the web portal.
What Changes When You Connect
- You immediately know your account status. Use
get_account_balance_metadatato check your credit balance and API usage without navigating to a separate billing page. - Service agents get full context. With
get_contact_profile, the agent pulls not just the contact's name, but their entire message history right into the conversation. - Campaign failure tracking is instant. The
list_failed_sms_deliveriestool identifies exactly which bulk messages failed and why, letting you fix the problem immediately. - You can search message history quickly. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of records,
search_sms_by_contentfinds all messages containing a specific keyword or number. - Sending is simple. The
send_sms_messagetool lets you send a new message to any number with a single instruction, eliminating multi-step form filling. - You gain control over assets.
list_authorized_sender_idsshows every virtual number and Sender ID you're allowed to use, preventing mistakes.
Real-World Use Cases
Need to follow up on a customer complaint.
A support agent needs to know the full scope of a customer's communication history. They ask their agent to run get_contact_profile for the client's number. The agent retrieves the profile, shows all past messages, and can then use the information to draft and send a targeted apology via send_sms_message.
Finished a campaign and need the results.
The marketing manager needs to validate a bulk message send. They ask the agent to run list_sms_messages and then search_sms_by_content for a specific campaign code. This provides a verifiable log of sent messages and confirms the campaign's reach.
Client moved and needs an alert.
A business owner needs to send an immediate notification. They ask the agent to check the balance using get_account_balance_metadata first, and if credits are available, use send_sms_message to alert the client.
Need to audit message failures.
The ops engineer runs into issues with delivery rates. They instruct the agent to run list_failed_sms_deliveries to immediately pinpoint all messages that failed, along with the reason for the failure.
The Tradeoffs
Manual API calls for status checks
Logging into the Dexatel dashboard, navigating to 'Reports,' filtering by date, downloading the CSV, and then opening Excel to find the failure rate. This takes 10 minutes.
→
Just ask your agent: 'What was the failure rate for last week?' The agent runs list_sms_messages and summarizes the failures using list_failed_sms_deliveries.
Sending messages in batches manually
Trying to manually loop through 100 contacts and calling the send API endpoint 100 times in a script, which is slow and error-prone.
→
Let the agent handle the flow. First, run list_messaging_contacts to get the list, then instruct the agent to use send_sms_message for the whole group. The agent manages the sequence.
Ignoring message history context
Sending a generic follow-up message to a client without knowing what they talked about last week, leading to a poor customer experience.
→
Always start by asking the agent to run get_contact_profile. This gives you the full history, so your follow-up message is specific and relevant.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if your primary need is real-time communication management. You need to send SMS messages, track their delivery status, or manage contact records without opening a web browser. The tools are best for tasks that require immediate data access, like checking the balance (get_account_balance_metadata) or finding a specific message (search_sms_by_content). Don't use it if you need to build complex, multi-stage workflows that involve external systems (like updating a CRM record based on a message). For that, you need a dedicated integration layer. If you just need to list contacts, list_messaging_contacts is enough; if you need the history, use get_contact_profile.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 10 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Checking delivery status and contact history shouldn't involve logging into a dashboard.
Today, checking a customer's message history means logging into the platform, finding their profile, and clicking through multiple tabs. You scroll past months of data just to confirm the delivery status of one critical message.
With the Dexatel MCP Server, you simply ask your agent. The agent runs `get_contact_profile` and immediately delivers the full, contextual history—including the delivery status of the last message—right in your chat window.
Dexatel MCP Server: Send messages and manage contacts via chat.
Before this, sending a message meant filling out a web form, selecting a sender ID, and hitting 'Send.' If you needed to send a follow-up, you had to manually check the balance first.
Now, you tell your agent: 'Send a reminder to 555-1234.' The agent runs the check (`get_account_balance_metadata`) and executes the send (`send_sms_message`) in one go. It's faster, and you get immediate confirmation.
