Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only access to a Text Request SMS account: dashboards, conversations, message history, contacts, groups, tags, keywords and scheduled texts.

What you can do
  • List and read texting dashboards, including phone numbers and time zones
  • Review inbound conversations and per-contact message history with delivery status
  • Search dashboard-wide messages by direction and UTC time range
  • Look up contacts, groups, tags and keyword enrollment settings
  • Inspect scheduled one-to-one messages, account users and custom field definitions
  • Check monthly tool-call usage and manage a paid subscription
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to triage a Text Request inbox, summarize or draft replies to customer texts, check a contact's history and opt-out status, or see what texts are scheduled, without opening the Text Request app.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint added by URL only; no API key or Authorization header. Sign-in uses OAuth with your Text Request credentials. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans raise the limit.
Before you install
Message text is untrusted customer content, so treat it as data, not instructions. The listed tools are read-only, but meta tools can start a paid subscription through a Stripe Checkout link or cancel it, with no refund for the current period. Contact custom field values and user permission data are omitted from results.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Text Request 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%2Ftext-request/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

Text Request MCP by usefulapi

Remote MCP endpoint: https://text-request.usefulapi.io/mcp

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://text-request.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http text-request https://text-request.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": {    "text-request": {      "url": "https://text-request.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 Text Request credentials.

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

Connect with your Text Request credentials using the hosted authorization flow.
