How do I connect my Telnyx account?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Telnyx API Key. Once connected, you can use it in any compatible client.

Can I send images through this MCP?

Yes, you can use the send_media_message capability to send MMS messages with a public JPEG or PNG URL.

What clients are compatible with this MCP?

This MCP works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol, such as Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can I check if my messages were actually delivered?

Yes, you can use the get_message_details capability to check the real-time delivery status of any message.

Do I need to use the Telnyx dashboard to manage my numbers?

No, you can list your phone numbers, check their settings, and manage profiles directly through your AI agent.

Can my AI agent check if a specific message was delivered?

Yes. If an end user reports completely missing an important text, you can ask your agent to pull up the message status using its unique ID. The agent will read back exactly whether Telnyx successfully handed off the payload or if it encountered carrier-level rejection codes.

Is it possible to track the account billing balance?

Absolutely. You can request your current Telnyx account balance to confirm you have enough credit left to continue broadcasting. Just ask 'What is my current Telnyx balance?' and your agent will give you the exact remaining dollar threshold.

Can I configure new Messaging Profiles via AI?

Yes! Developers often need to isolate test traffic from production. You can simply ask your agent to list all current global profiles, and if needed, instruct it to immediately create a new messaging profile to attach webhook URLs.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Telnyx works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Telnyx to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Telnyx, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Telnyx. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
