AT&T Messaging for Automated SMS Marketing
This Connector puts that entire workflow into your AI client. You just tell your agent to launch the campaign or check the results. You get to stay in one window and let the agent handle the API calls. You get to focus on your strategy while the agent handles the execution of sending, tracking, and auditing your messages.
What Vinkius changes
You get a direct line from your AI agent to AT&T's messaging infrastructure.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about AT&T Messaging.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the AT&T Messaging MCP send images?
Yes, you can send MMS messages with images, videos, or audio files using the send_mms capability. This allows your AI agent to handle rich media content for marketing or alerts.
How do I handle bulk sends with AT&T Messaging MCP?
You can use the send_bulk_sms capability to send a single message to up to 164 recipients at once. Your AI agent will handle the batching and provide a status array for each recipient.
Can AT&T Messaging MCP help with compliance?
Yes, it can. You can use list_messages to pull a full history of outbound and inbound messages, including timestamps and content snippets, which is perfect for auditing.
Does AT&T Messaging MCP support shortcodes?
Yes, the Connector includes capabilities to provision new shortcodes with specific keywords and decommission retired ones. This makes it easy to manage multiple campaign numbers.
Can I check if an SMS was delivered using AT&T Messaging MCP?
Yes, you can use get_message_status to check the real-time delivery state of any specific message by its ID. This helps you debug failed sends or track campaign success.
How do I see customer replies with AT&T Messaging MCP?
You can use get_inbound_messages to retrieve recent customer replies, including the sender number, the keyword matched, and the message body.
What sender IDs can I use to send SMS messages?
You must use a registered AT&T shortcode or dedicated long code as the sender ID. Unregistered or random numbers will be rejected by the carrier. You can provision new shortcodes with keywords using the create_shortcode capability, or check your existing ones through the messaging dashboard. Each shortcode can be configured with multiple keyword auto-responses.
Can I send MMS with images and what formats are supported?
Yes. The send_mms capability accepts a publicly accessible media URL. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, GIF for images, MP4 for video, and common audio formats. The media URL must be reachable by AT&T's servers -- local or private URLs will fail. Maximum file size limits apply per carrier specifications, typically up to 1MB for images and 3.5MB for video.
How do I handle customer opt-out requests like STOP?
AT&T Messaging automatically processes standard opt-out keywords (STOP, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT). When a customer sends one of these, they are added to your suppression list and will no longer receive messages from that shortcode. You can monitor inbound messages with get_inbound_messages to track opt-out activity and verify your keyword configuration with get_keyword_responses.
