Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted SimpleTexting connector that lets an assistant send SMS/MMS, update contacts, and read campaigns, messages and media.

What you can do
  • List and fetch contacts, including profile fields, list memberships and custom fields
  • List and fetch campaigns with message, recipients and status
  • List and fetch message history and MMS media items
  • Dry-run a message body to estimate segments, SMS vs MMS and cost
  • Send a real SMS or MMS and update a contact
  • Check usage, request a feature, upgrade or cancel the subscription
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to work with an existing SimpleTexting account: reviewing message history and campaigns, checking how a text will be billed, or sending texts and editing contacts without opening the dashboard.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint connected by URL only; no local install. Sign-in is via OAuth, and the login page asks for a SimpleTexting API token (SimpleTexting → Settings → API), stored per user. No API key or Authorization header goes in the client config. A paid plan is needed beyond the free tier's 50 tool calls per month.
Before you install
The send tool sends a real SMS/MMS and consumes message credits; the update tool changes live contact data. Confirm before any write. The server asks for a SimpleTexting API token during OAuth login, and the token is held by the third-party host. Subscription tools return Stripe payment links and can start or cancel paid plans; cancellation gives no refund for the current period.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open SimpleTexting MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fsimpletexting/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

SimpleTexting MCP by usefulapi

Manage SimpleTexting from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — send SMS/MMS, manage contacts, and read campaigns, messages and media. Hosted, no local install: connect with your SimpleTexting API token.

Live endpoint: https://simpletexting.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://simpletexting.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http simpletexting https://simpletexting.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "simpletexting": {      "url": "https://simpletexting.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your SimpleTexting credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/simpletexting/

On first connect you'll paste your SimpleTexting API token (SimpleTexting → Settings → API). It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
