Perplexity

Trigger SMS from the command line

Triggering `send_sms_message` lets you fire off critical alerts directly from your shell. When a cron job fails or a server spikes, Claude Code can catch the error and immediately text the on-call engineer without requiring a heavy third-party alerting stack. Before sending, it validates the payload against your pre-approved formats using `list_sms_templates`. It then grabs a valid origin number via `list_authorized_sender_ids`. You get a fully automated, headless notification pipeline running entirely in your terminal.

Parse Dexatel MCP Server logs

Executing `list_sms_messages` dumps your entire communication history into standard output for easy parsing. You can pipe this data into jq or grep to audit specific messaging campaigns or verify compliance requirements. If you need to investigate a specific incident, `search_sms_by_content` locates exact phrases or target numbers across your entire account. Claude Code handles the API pagination and outputs a clean, readable summary of the matching records right in your console.

Track failures and account health

By invoking `list_failed_sms_deliveries`, you pinpoint exactly which numbers bounced and why. You can write a shell script that tells Claude to check this endpoint daily and automatically purge invalid numbers from your database. To keep your operations running, the agent calls `get_account_balance_metadata` to track your spend. You can set up a daily terminal check that warns you if your available funds drop below a specific threshold.

Common questions about Dexatel MCP in Claude Code

Run `claude mcp add --transport http dexatel-mcp -- ` in your terminal. Ensure you place all flags before the server name. The configuration saves locally to your `~/.claude.json` file.

Yes. You can run the CLI in headless mode during GitHub Actions. It can automatically text your team when a deployment finishes or if a critical test suite fails.

The CLI respects standard HTTP response codes. If the provider throttles your requests, the agent will read the 429 status and can automatically back off before retrying the command.

You can query the contact profile endpoint. Pass the phone number to the agent, and it returns the full interaction history for that specific user directly to your terminal.

No. The terminal client executes requests through our stateless V8 isolates. The delivery statuses and carrier error codes only exist during the active request lifecycle. Vinkius manages the authentication handshakes without ever caching your actual communication data.
