Send texts and voice calls from Claude Desktop

Trigger outbound communication directly from your Claude Desktop chat using `send_sms_message` and `send_tts_voice_call`. The agent handles the formatting, inserts the recipient details, and routes the message through the carrier networks instantly. The MCP server handles legacy infrastructure when you need to send physical paperwork. Your agent can dispatch documents over traditional telephone lines using `send_digital_fax`, keeping all your outbound communication inside a single chat window.

Organize your recipients and templates

Manage your contacts inside your Claude Desktop workspace using `create_tnz_contact` and `list_tnz_contacts`. Your agent can clean up your address book or view categorized lists via `list_contact_groups` to keep your records straight. Instead of writing every notification from scratch, use pre-written layouts. Your agent can fetch your saved layouts via the MCP interface using `list_message_templates` to ensure your brand voice remains consistent across all outbound channels.

Track delivery rates and billing data

Track delivery rates and system connectivity using `get_message_delivery_status` and `check_api_health`. Your agent can check whether a message reached its destination or pull incoming customer responses using `list_received_sms_replies`. Keep an eye on operating costs and system limits. The agent can monitor your remaining credits with `get_account_balance` and generate detailed cost breakdowns using `get_messaging_usage_report` so you never run out of funds mid-campaign.
