Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 12 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Juggling messaging portals kills productivity.
Today, sending a simple status update means jumping through hoops. You log into your SMS portal to send the text. Then you switch over to the WhatsApp dashboard to upload media and check templates. If you want history, you open a third tab just for logs. It's manual clicking across three or four different systems.
With this MCP, you tell your agent exactly what needs to happen—for example, 'Send an update via WhatsApp, then log the result.' The AI handles the sequence of calls behind the scenes, pulling data from every necessary source and giving you one clean confirmation. You get back instant action.
The Clickatell MCP Gives You Full Messaging Visibility
You no longer have to manually check if the campaign reached its target audience or if the template was correct. The agent automatically checks `list_source_numbers` and verifies that you're using approved channels before attempting a send.
It’s simple: your AI client acts as your dedicated communication coordinator, managing templates, tracking balances (`get_account_balance`), and confirming delivery status—all in one conversation. It just works.
What you can do with this MCP connector
Managing customer communications used to mean jumping between multiple portals—one for SMS campaigns, another for WhatsApp templates, and a third just to check if the message actually got read. Now, you talk to your agent instead. You tell it, 'Send an order confirmation to these 50 users via WhatsApp.' It handles the connection and the delivery using high-fidelity global channels.
Need to know how many credits are left? Just ask. The AI manages everything—from sending messages to monitoring historical logs and ensuring you're following best practices. This deep level of control is available through Vinkius, connecting your agent directly to this entire communication infrastructure.

How Clickatell MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the MCP and grab your API Key from your Clickatell Workspace.
- 2 Provide your agent with the target number, message content, and preferred channel (SMS/WhatsApp).
- 3 Your agent executes the send request, then provides immediate status updates or fetches historical logs upon request.
The bottom line is you give the AI a natural language command, and it runs the complex communication workflow for you.
Who Is Clickatell MCP For?
This MCP is built for operations teams who can't afford to manually check dashboards or toggle between 5 different messaging portals just to send an update. It’s for anyone whose job revolves around high-volume, reliable customer communication.
Needs to instantly send personalized status updates or verification codes across channels without logging into a separate messaging dashboard.
Runs large-scale broadcast campaigns and needs continuous visibility into read rates, message history, and template compliance.
Integrates high-speed SMS or WhatsApp features into automated production workflows by calling specific tools via the AI agent.
What Changes When You Connect
- Consolidate comms: You don't need to switch between separate portals. Your agent handles both
send_smsandsend_whatsapp, making sure your message gets out, regardless of the channel. - Maintain compliance: Before running a campaign, you can use
list_whatsapp_templatesto ensure every communication follows approved business guidelines. - Know the status: Never wonder if a message was sent. Use
get_message_statusandlist_message_historyto confirm delivery, read receipts, and full activity logs. - Budget control: Keep your spending tight by running
get_account_balancewhenever you need to know how many credits are left for the next campaign. - Scale campaigns fast: Instead of manual sends, use
send_bulk_messagesto hit hundreds of users instantly while maintaining detailed oversight.
Real-World Use Cases
Handling an order delay notification
A customer service agent needs to inform a client about a shipment delay. They ask their agent, 'Send WhatsApp message to +1234567890 with the tracking update.' The agent executes send_whatsapp and confirms the status, giving the client peace of mind.
Running a compliance-checked marketing blast
A growth marketer must send 1,000 messages. First, they run list_whatsapp_templates to verify their content is compliant, then use send_bulk_messages and track the entire effort using list_message_history.
Auditing past communication failures
An ops engineer needs to know why a message failed last week. They ask their agent to run list_message_history and then use the specific ID to check the precise failure reason with get_message_status.
Starting a new automated workflow
A developer needs to integrate WhatsApp into a script. They start by calling list_active_channels to ensure all endpoints are configured before writing the final sending logic using send_whatsapp.
The Tradeoffs
Manual status checking
Checking delivery success requires logging into the messaging platform, finding the message ID, and manually looking at the status column. This wastes time.
→
Just ask your agent to run get_message_status with the message ID. It gives you the outcome instantly, without leaving your conversation.
Forgetting template rules
Trying to send a promotional WhatsApp message that hasn't been pre-approved, which will cause the entire campaign to fail.
→
Always check list_whatsapp_templates first. This confirms you have access to approved templates before running any sends.
Sending messages without budget checks
Starting a large bulk send only to find out halfway through that the account balance is zero, halting operations.
→
Run get_account_balance before you execute any major sending action. This prevents costly and unexpected shutdowns.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if your primary bottleneck is managing global message delivery across multiple channels (SMS, WhatsApp) or needing a single source of truth for messaging history and status updates. It's ideal when you need to automate the sending process itself. Don't use it if your goal is purely content generation—if you only need help drafting copy, use a general-purpose LLM tool instead. If your problem is deeper than just communication (e.g., needing to analyze user sentiment or categorize tickets), this MCP won't help; those require different types of AI tools.
Common Questions About Clickatell MCP
How do I check my credit balance using get_account_balance? +
You ask your agent to run get_account_balance. The AI pulls the live data and tells you exactly how many credits or funds are available for sending messages.
What is the difference between send_sms and send_whatsapp? +
send_sms handles standard text messaging, while send_whatsapp uses WhatsApp's dedicated channel. Remember that WhatsApp requires you to use a pre-approved template.
Can I check the status of an old message using list_message_history? +
Yes. First, run list_message_history to find the specific Message ID for that past communication. Then you use get_message_status with that ID to see its final delivery state.
How do I manage templates before a campaign? +
Use list_whatsapp_templates to view all currently approved templates. If you need to remove one, the delete_whatsapp_template tool handles that cleanup for you.
How can I verify my overall account details using get_account_info? +
It returns your general profile information. Use this tool to confirm that your AI client has successfully authenticated with the platform and pulled basic, up-to-date workspace data before attempting any actions.
What is the purpose of list_source_numbers when I need to send a message? +
The tool provides a complete directory of all configured sending numbers. This is essential because it confirms which specific channels or virtual lines your agent must route messages through.
What should I know before using send_bulk_messages for large campaigns? +
This function efficiently handles multiple recipients at once. Be aware that platform rate limits apply; if you are sending a very high volume, your agent may need to batch the requests or pause between runs.
If I want an image in my WhatsApp message, how do I use get_whatsapp_media? +
It fetches details about any associated multimedia content. You must call this tool first if you need your AI client to reference or attach a picture before sending the final chat message.
