Send Broadcasts From Claude Desktop

The `send_bulk` tool lets Claude Desktop fire off mass text campaigns to your customer groups instantly. You don't need to open the web portal to blast an update because your AI client handles the payload delivery directly. Monitor delivery progress using `get_message_status` to see exactly which carriers accepted your texts. This keeps your messaging loop tight and lets you spot deliverability blocks before they eat your budget.

Manage Contacts via MCP Server Tools

The `create_contact` tool registers new subscribers right from your chat window. Instead of copying phone numbers back and forth, you tell Claude Desktop to add them to your database with a quick prompt. Keep your lists clean by using `delete_contact` to remove opt-outs or dead numbers immediately. You can also run `list_contacts` to audit your database and ensure your team targets active leads.

Organize Lists and Monitor Keywords

The `create_group` tool builds targeted segments inside your account to isolate hot leads. Claude Desktop uses this MCP server to organize subscribers based on their chat interactions. Run `list_keywords` to check which marketing keywords are active on your shortcode before launching a campaign. This lets you map incoming responses to the right autoresponders without manual verification.
