Frequently Asked Questions

What is an MCP server for SMS?

An SMS MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes SMS-sending as a tool your AI assistant can call. Once connected, you can ask Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to send an SMS and it happens through your SMSPM account — no custom code.

Which AI clients work with the SMSPM MCP server?

Any client that supports the Model Context Protocol: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and most MCP-compatible agents. The setup is the same — point the client at the SMSPM server with your API credentials.

Do I need to write code to send SMS from Claude?

No. After installing the MCP server and adding your SMSPM_HASH and SMSPM_TOKEN, you simply ask the assistant to send a message. The server translates the request into an SMSPM API call.

Is the SMSPM MCP server free?

The server is open and free to install. You pay only for the SMS messages you send, at SMSPM's standard per-country rates — see SMS pricing.
