Perplexity

Send SMS alerts from your build scripts

Drop a command into your CI/CD pipeline to get build failure notifications. A simple call from Claude Code to the `send_outbound_sms` tool can text the on-call engineer the moment a deployment fails. Because it's just a standard CLI command, it works anywhere your shell does. Use it in GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or any automated workflow. The output is clean text, perfect for logging.

Run automated audits from a cron job

Set up a cron job to call Claude Code and pull your `get_kontak_audit_logs`. You can pipe the raw JSON output directly to `jq` to filter for specific events, building a simple, powerful, and headless monitoring system. This is how you keep tabs on your account without a GUI. Your agent can run scheduled checks on API usage, user actions, or webhook status via `list_kontak_webhooks` and alert you if something is wrong.

Manage contacts and templates via shell

Work with your Kontak account directly from the terminal. Pipe the output of `list_kontak_contacts` to `grep` to find someone, or check `list_kontak_templates` before you send a message. It's fast and scriptable. This MCP Server gives you a direct, no-nonsense interface to the Kontak API. You can combine it with the command-line tools you already use to create custom workflows for managing your communications.

Common questions about Kontak MCP in Claude Code

Run `claude mcp add` with the server URL. Once added, you can call any Kontak tool from your terminal. It's designed for shell scripts and other automated tasks.

Yes, that's what it's for. The tools output standard JSON or plain text, so you can pipe the results from commands like `list_kontak_contacts` directly into other CLI tools for filtering and processing.

You'll use the `send_outbound_sms` tool. The exact command will look something like `claude mcp run kontak-mcp send_outbound_sms -- --to="+1..." --body="..."`. You can check the tool's schema for all parameters.

Yes. As long as the container can reach the Vinkius server endpoint and your `~/.claude.json` config is available, it works just like it would on your local machine. It's ideal for containerized workflows.

The server accesses only the data needed for the tool you call, such as contact info, message bodies, or audit logs. Your API token is stored locally in the `~/.claude.json` file and all requests are processed in single-use, ephemeral sandboxes on Vinkius.
