Perplexity

Send text messages directly from Claude Desktop

`send_sms_message` lets your agent dispatch texts directly to any phone number from your chat input. You don't need to open a browser or copy-paste API keys because the tool handles the transport layer directly. Before sending, your agent can run `get_account_balance_metadata` to verify your balance. It can also pull pre-approved layouts using `list_sms_templates` to ensure your messages comply with carrier regulations without manual formatting.

Track delivery status with this MCP Server

`get_sms_message_details` gives your agent the exact status of any message sent through your account. Instead of guessing if a user received an alert, you ask Claude to check the delivery logs in real time. If messages bounce, your agent runs `list_failed_sms_deliveries` to flag issues. It can cross-reference these failures against `list_sms_messages` to pinpoint whether a specific carrier or region is dropping your traffic.

Manage your contact list inside your workspace

`list_messaging_contacts` exposes your Dexatel address book to your local workspace. Your agent can read your contact lists, search for specific profiles using `get_contact_profile`, and prepare targeted lists. When you need to find past interactions, the agent uses `search_sms_by_content` to scan your text history. This keeps your communication history accessible without requiring you to export CSVs or open a separate CRM.
