### Use with AI agents (MCP)
The official [textbee MCP server](https://github.com/textbee/textbee-mcp) lets Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client send and read SMS through your account. Your API key stays on your machine, and plan limits apply server-side like any other send.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"textbee": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@textbee/mcp"],
"env": { "TEXTBEE_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
```
Three tools: `send_sms` (send to one or many recipients), `get_messages` (read replies and verification codes, check delivery status), and `list_devices`. Self-hosted instances work with `TEXTBEE_BASE_URL`. Details at [textbee.dev/mcp](https://textbee.dev/mcp?ref=gh-readme) and the [agent docs](https://textbee.dev/docs/agents/mcp?ref=gh-readme).
