textbee SMS MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to textbee, an open source SMS gateway that turns an Android phone into a texting service. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI to send a text or check what came in, and it uses your own phone and your own number to do it. It is handy if you already use textbee and want to handle texts without opening the dashboard.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like send a text to this number, or show me the messages from today. The AI passes that request to this helper program. The helper talks to textbee using your API key, and textbee sends the message through your paired Android phone. For reading, the helper asks textbee for your messages and hands them back to the AI. Then the AI shows you the result in the chat, like a confirmation or a list of texts.

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat: a confirmation that a text was sent, a list of messages with sender and time, or details about your devices. When you send a batch, you can ask for the delivery status per recipient. It is all shown as text in the conversation, so you can read it right there.
