Cline executes SMS tasks using MessageBird tools
Cline uses `send_sms` to push notifications from your application code. It runs these tasks end-to-end, meaning it handles the API call and reports back on the specific status of your transmission. You can also use `get_message` to pull the exact delivery state for any record. This saves you from hunting through dashboard logs during debugging sessions.
Audit your contacts within Cline
Tell Cline to fetch specific user info with `get_contact` or explore your entire database with `list_contacts`. It brings this data into your workspace where you can manipulate it with custom scripts. It also maps your `list_groups` so you can target specific segments. Cline handles the data fetching while you define the grouping logic.
Validate your network reach with this MCP Server
Cline can run `list_hlr` to verify phone numbers before you trigger a mass send. This keeps your delivery costs down by filtering out invalid or inactive numbers. Check your available channels with `list_channels` to ensure your setup is correct. Cline identifies these settings in seconds without you needing to leave your editor.
