End-to-End SMS Workflows

Cline triggers `send_sms_message` to build and test your text-based notification features right inside VS Code. Instead of just giving you code snippets, it actually executes the API call to prove the logic works. Before writing the integration, the agent runs `check_api_health` to ensure the endpoint is alive. It then pulls your pre-configured layouts using `list_message_templates` and injects them into the component it just built.

Voice Alerts Powered by Cline

When you need automated phone calls, the agent writes the logic and executes `send_tts_voice_call` to verify the text-to-speech engine sounds right. You get a working voice alert system without leaving your editor. Cline targets specific departments by querying `list_contact_groups`. It also checks `get_account_balance` before running test suites so you don't accidentally drain your credits during development.

Managing the TNZ Communications MCP Server

Legacy systems require physical documents, so the agent uses `send_digital_fax` to transmit PDFs directly from your workspace. It monitors the transmission by calling `get_message_delivery_status` and writes the exact polling loop you need for production. For two-way communication, the server grabs incoming texts via `list_received_sms_replies` and tracks expenses with `get_messaging_usage_report`. It builds your directory by reading `list_tnz_contacts` and pushing new entries through `create_tnz_contact`.
