Perplexity

Send and read SMS inside Claude Desktop

The `send_outbound_sms` tool allows your agent to dispatch text messages to any phone number straight from the chat interface. You just tell Claude who to text and what to say. The agent constructs the payload and fires the request. Once the message goes out, you track the response using `list_kontak_messages`. The agent pulls the recent thread history so you can read replies without logging into a separate dashboard. It turns your chat window into a functional SMS terminal.

Audit your user base

The `list_kontak_contacts` tool fetches your entire directory of users into the context window. You ask for a specific segment, and the agent retrieves the raw list. If you need granular data on a single person, it calls `get_contact_details` to grab their specific metadata. You organize these users by calling `list_kontak_tags`. The agent reads the available labels and applies them to your queries. This lets you filter contact lists by active status or campaign segment before you decide who receives a text.

Troubleshoot webhook failures

The `list_kontak_webhooks` tool dumps your current endpoint configurations via the MCP connection so you can see exactly where payloads are routing. You ask the agent why a delivery receipt failed, and it checks the active URLs. It immediately spots misconfigured domains or disabled hooks. If the webhooks look correct, the agent triggers `get_kontak_audit_logs` to read system-level events. It scans the recent error codes and identifies exactly when the connection dropped. You get the root cause without touching a logging platform.
