- 01Send SMS, MMS, and WhatsApp messages
- 02Check message delivery and history
- 03Create and manage webhooks
- 04Manage contact lists
- 05Check account balance
- 06Search live API specifications

MCP support
The server exposes Kudosity actions as MCP tools for AI agents, authenticating with an API key and using an API secret for contact-list and balance operations.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y kudosity-mcpKUDOSITY_API_KEYSecretYour Kudosity API key (Settings → API Settings).KUDOSITY_API_SECRETSecretYour Kudosity API secret. Required only for contact-list and balance tools.Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMEKudosity MCP Server
An installable Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents native tools to send SMS, MMS and WhatsApp messages, manage contacts and webhooks, and research the Kudosity API — powered by Kudosity.
Runs locally (or in your own infrastructure), authenticates with your Kudosity API key, and exposes one clean tool per action — so an agent calls send_sms instead of hand-building HTTP requests.

KUDOSITY_API_SECRET is optional — omit it if you only need messaging, webhooks, and discovery. It's required for the contact-list and balance tools.

Authentication
Kudosity has two API surfaces, and this server uses each where it's authoritative:
| Tools | Auth | Credentials |
|---|---|---|
| Messaging, webhooks, discovery | x-api-key header | KUDOSITY_API_KEY |
| Contact lists, balance | HTTP Basic | KUDOSITY_API_KEY + KUDOSITY_API_SECRET |
Credentials are read from environment variables and never written to disk. Treat them as secrets.
Configuration
| Env var | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
KUDOSITY_API_KEY | yes | — | Your Kudosity API key |
KUDOSITY_API_SECRET | for contacts/balance | — | Your Kudosity API secret |
KUDOSITY_API_BASE_URL | no | https://api.transmitmessage.com | Override the v2 API base URL |
KUDOSITY_V1_BASE_URL | no | https://api.transmitsms.com | Override the v1 API base URL |
Local development

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
