Today is the operative word: we check Simpletexting every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

simpletexting

simpletexting_evaluate_message

DRY-RUN a message body to compute its segment count, whether it sends as SMS or MMS, and its estimated cost — WITHOUT sending anything. Safe and read-only. SimpleTexting REST: POST /messages/evaluate with JSON body {text, mode?}.

simpletexting_get_campaign

Get a single campaign by its id, including its message, recipients, and status. SimpleTexting REST: GET /campaigns/{id}.

simpletexting_get_contact

Get a single contact by its id or phone number, including profile fields, list memberships, and custom fields. SimpleTexting REST: GET /contacts/{contactIdOrNumber}.

simpletexting_get_media

Get a single media item (MMS asset) by its id, including its URL and metadata. SimpleTexting REST: GET /media/{id}.

simpletexting_get_message

Get a single message by its id, including its text, direction, status, and timestamps. SimpleTexting REST: GET /messages/{id}.

simpletexting_list_campaigns

List the account's campaigns as a paged collection, optionally filtered by sending number, state, list, and start-date range. Note: only immediate campaigns are returned — scheduled/recurring campaigns are NOT included. SimpleTexting REST: GET /campaigns.

simpletexting_list_contacts

List the account's contacts as a paged collection, optionally filtered by a `since` cursor and sort `direction`. SimpleTexting REST: GET /contacts.

simpletexting_list_media

List the account's media items (MMS assets) as a paged collection. SimpleTexting REST: GET /media.

simpletexting_list_messages

List the account's messages as a paged collection (inbound + outbound message history). SimpleTexting REST: GET /messages.

simpletexting_send_message

SENDS A REAL SMS or MMS to a recipient — this MODIFIES live data and consumes message credits. Provide only the optional fields you need. SimpleTexting REST: POST /messages with JSON body {contactPhone, text, accountPhone?, mode?, subject?, fallbackText?, mediaItems?}.

simpletexting_update_contact

UPDATES a live contact — its profile fields, list memberships, and custom fields. This MODIFIES live data. Provide only the fields you want to change. SimpleTexting REST: PUT /contacts/{contactIdOrNumber}.

Simpletexting — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Simpletexting do?

It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: simpletexting_evaluate_message, simpletexting_get_campaign, simpletexting_get_contact, simpletexting_get_media, simpletexting_get_message, simpletexting_list_campaigns and 5 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Simpletexting working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 179 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Simpletexting?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Simpletexting need an API key?

No. Simpletexting completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Simpletexting?

It answers our handshake in 179 ms on average, which is faster than 70% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Simpletexting open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
