Details
From the project READMEBulkSMS MCP by usefulapi
Use BulkSMS from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — sent messages, replies, profile, blocked numbers and webhooks, plus capped SMS sends. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own BulkSMS credentials.
Live endpoint: https://bulksms.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/bulksms
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://bulksms.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http bulksms https://bulksms.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"bulksms": {
"url": "https://bulksms.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 BulkSMS credentials.

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.
