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.
Manually tracking multi-channel alerts is a nightmare.
Right now, if your company sends out an alert—say, about system maintenance—you have to use one tool for SMS, another for faxing documents, and yet a third dashboard just to see who actually saw the message. You copy contact lists from one place, paste them into another, and then wait for status emails that might never come.
With this MCP server, you tell your agent: 'Send an alert via SMS, and if it's critical, also fax the full document.' The system handles the channel switch, manages contacts using `list_contact_groups`, and tracks the success of both methods in one conversation. It just works.
Use send_tts_voice_call to automate reminders.
Without this server, automating a follow-up is hard. You might write an email or set up a basic reminder system that only sends text. If the recipient needs a human touch—like a personal call—you're stuck in manual calling loops.
Now, you just tell your agent: 'Call Jane and leave her a voice message about next week.' The agent executes `send_tts_voice_call` using natural language input. You get automated communication that sounds professional and keeps the conversation flowing without needing to lift a finger.
What you can do with this MCP connector
When you hook up your AI agent to this TNZ Communications server, you're giving it direct access to New Zealand and global messaging channels. You can make your agent send SMS texts, automated voice calls using Text-to-Speech (TTS), or digital faxes—all through one API gateway. It lets your agent check account credit, manage contacts, track delivery status, and handle incoming replies without leaving your workspace.
Setup and Status Checks
First, you'll want to make sure the connection is solid. Use check_api_health to verify that the TNZ API link is active and working correctly before anything else. You can also monitor your operational finances; run get_account_balance to see exactly how much credit you've got left on your communications account, or pull a full picture of spending by running get_messaging_usage_report, which gives detailed reports showing total messaging usage and associated costs over time.
Contact Management
Need to talk to people? Your agent can manage all the contacts in your TNZ address book. You'll use list_tnz_contacts to fetch a complete list of every saved contact. If you need to organize them for bulk messaging, run list_contact_groups to see every group you've set up. When you find someone new, don't manually enter their info; just call create_tnz_contact to add a brand-new entry directly into your managed list.
Messaging Capabilities
This server lets your agent communicate across three channels: SMS, voice, and fax. To send a standard text message, you dispatch it with send_sms_message. For automated calling, your agent initiates the call using send_tts_voice_call, which reads out any script via Text-to-Speech technology. If you need to transmit documents as faxes, just use send_digital_fax to send a specific file document to the recipient.
Tracking and Interaction
Your agent doesn't just fire off messages; it tracks them. You can check if a message actually got there by using get_message_delivery_status, passing in the specific message ID for real-time status checks. When you're setting up automated outbound messages, you won't need to start from scratch; run list_message_templates to retrieve all your pre-saved content templates.
The agent handles incoming replies too: it lists recent SMS responses using list_received_sms_replies, letting your AI client read and respond automatically. You can also use list_message_templates if you need to check what message formats are available for immediate use.

How TNZ Communications MCP Works
- 1 First, subscribe to the TNZ server and enter your unique TNZ Auth Token in the dashboard.
- 2 Second, call any tool (like
get_account_balanceorsend_sms_message) from your AI client using natural language conversation. - 3 Third, the agent executes the API request against the TNZ gateway and returns a status update or confirmation ID to you.
The bottom line is that once authenticated, any conversational instruction can trigger complex messaging operations across multiple channels.
Who Is TNZ Communications MCP For?
This is for the Operations Director who needs to send alerts and notifications without leaving their workflow. It's also for Customer Support staff dealing with high volumes of incoming texts, or Marketing Campaign Managers needing to run sequenced SMS/Voice outreach.
Uses this server to build automated alert systems that send critical notifications (like system downtime alerts) via SMS or fax.
Monitors incoming replies using list_received_sms_replies and uses the agent to respond immediately, keeping the conversation in their main workspace.
Runs bulk outreach by listing contacts with list_tnz_contacts, creating a group via create_tnz_contact, and sending mass SMS or Voice campaigns.
What Changes When You Connect
- Get full visibility into messaging status. Use
get_message_delivery_statusto confirm if a critical alert actually arrived at the recipient's phone. - Manage outreach in batches. Combine
list_tnz_contactsandsend_sms_messageto send alerts to entire groups without manual copy-pasting. - Handle conversations automatically. The ability to run
list_received_sms_repliesmeans your agent can read inbound customer texts and respond instantly. - Automate high-touch communication. Instead of just sending text, use
send_tts_voice_callfor automated reminders or follow-ups. - Keep track of costs in real time. Run
get_account_balancefrequently so you never get hit with unexpected billing charges from the TNZ gateway.
Real-World Use Cases
Alerting staff about a system outage
The ops engineer doesn't want to email 50 people. They ask their agent: 'Send an urgent SMS alert to the Site Manager group.' The agent uses list_contact_groups and then triggers send_sms_message, guaranteeing everyone gets the warning instantly.
Following up after a sales call
A rep needs to send an immediate follow-up reminder. Instead of drafting an email, they ask: 'Call John Smith and leave a message about the contract.' The agent uses send_tts_voice_call, ensuring the client gets the personalized voice touch.
Processing customer service queries
A customer texts back asking for tracking info. Instead of having to switch apps, the support specialist asks: 'Check the reply from SMS ID 456.' The agent uses list_received_sms_replies and replies automatically.
Sending formal documentation
The accounting team needs to send a final, signed contract. They tell their agent: 'Fax this document now.' The agent executes send_digital_fax, handling the specialized formatting required for official documents.
The Tradeoffs
Using only generic messaging tools
Assuming that just calling a 'Send Message' tool is enough. This fails because you can't track if the message was actually read or delivered.
→
Always pair sending with status checks. After running send_sms_message, immediately call get_message_delivery_status to confirm delivery before assuming success.
Ignoring contact organization
Trying to send a message to 'everyone' without knowing if the recipients are grouped or current. This leads to sending messages that bounce back.
→
First, list your contacts using list_tnz_contacts. Then use list_contact_groups to target specific groups for reliable mass communication.
Running outreach without checking funds
Starting a large campaign and only realizing halfway through that the account credit ran out. The whole process stalls immediately.
→
Before any major send operation, always check get_account_balance. This prevents running into billing limits mid-campaign.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your core need is multi-channel messaging (SMS, Voice, Fax) and you need to automate the full communications lifecycle—from contact list management (list_tnz_contacts) to sending content (send_sms_message) and then confirming delivery status (get_message_delivery_status). Don't use this if your problem is purely internal task management or data storage; for that, a simple database connector would work better. If you only need one channel (e.g., just email), look at an Email API service instead. But when the message needs to hit a phone number reliably and track its journey, this is what you need.
