Yes! Use the get_status tool with the Transaction ID (MTID). Your agent will respond with the current delivery state (e.g., Delivered, Failed, or Pending) in seconds.
How do I find my OneWaySMS API Username and Password?
Log in to your OneWaySMS dashboard, navigate to the API section, and you will find your dedicated API Username and API Password (which are different from your web login).
What is the character limit for ASCII vs Unicode messages?
Standard ASCII messages allow up to 160 characters per SMS. Unicode messages (which support special characters and emojis) are limited to 70 characters per SMS.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
