Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "android-texter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "android-texter-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ATX_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "ATX_API_BASE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add android-texter --env ATX_API_KEY=your-value --env ATX_API_BASE=your-value -- npx -y android-texter-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

Common questions

Is Android Texter safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: ATX_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Android Texter MCP Server

Let Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any other MCP client send and read text messages through Android Texter.

Android Texter turns your own Android phone into an SMS and MMS gateway. Texts go out from the phone's real number over its carrier plan, and replies come back into your account. This server connects your AI assistant to that account, so you can say "text Sam that the meeting moved to 3pm" or "who replied to yesterday's broadcast?" and it happens on your phone.

Sends from your own number, not a shared short code or a rented line
Reads conversations, searches message history, and manages contacts
Schedules texts for later and cancels them
Runs locally over stdio; your API key stays on your computer

Before you start

An Android Texter account with the app installed on an Android phone and paired to it. Sign up at androidtexter.com.
An API key. In the dashboard, open Settings > API Keys (androidtexter.com/dashboard/settings/api-keys) and create one. Keys start with atx_.
Node.js 18 or newer (node --version).

Install

The server runs with npx, so there is nothing to install by hand. Pick your client below and replace atx_YOUR_API_KEY with your key.

Claude Desktop

Open Settings > Developer > Edit Config (or edit claude_desktop_config.json directly: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows) and add:

"mcpServers": { "android-texter": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "android-texter-mcp"], "env": { "ATX_API_KEY": "atx_YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

Restart Claude Desktop. The Android Texter tools appear under the tools menu in a new chat.

Claude Code

claude mcp add android-texter --scope user --env ATX_API_KEY=atx_YOUR_API_KEY -- npx -y android-texter-mcp

Run claude mcp list to check that it connected.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

"mcpServers": { "android-texter": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "android-texter-mcp"], "env": { "ATX_API_KEY": "atx_YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (or Settings > Cascade > MCP Servers > View raw config):

"mcpServers": { "android-texter": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "android-texter-mcp"], "env": { "ATX_API_KEY": "atx_YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for the key once and stores it securely:

"inputs": [ { "type": "promptString", "id": "atx-api-key", "description": "Android Texter API key", "password": true } ], "servers": { "android-texter": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "android-texter-mcp"], "env": { "ATX_API_KEY": "${input:atx-api-key}" } } } }

Any other MCP client

Run npx -y android-texter-mcp as a stdio server with ATX_API_KEY in its environment.

On Windows, if your client cannot find npx, use "command": "cmd" with "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "android-texter-mcp"].

Without npm

The same server is available as a single file from the dashboard (Settings > Integrations > Download Script). Save it anywhere and use "command": "node" with "args": ["/absolute/path/to/android-texter-mcp.js"] in place of the npx lines above.

Environment variables

Variable	Required	Description
`ATX_API_KEY`	Yes	Your Android Texter API key, from Settings > API Keys.
`ATX_API_BASE`	No	API root URL. Default `https://androidtexter.com/api`. Only change it for a test backend.
`ATX_CLIENT_NAME`	No	Name shown for this connection on the API Keys activity log. Detected automatically for most clients.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`list_devices`	Your paired phones, with online status, battery, number, and SIMs.
`list_conversations`	Recent conversations, filtered by folder: all, inbox (replied), outbox (no reply yet), archived, spam.
`get_conversation`	The messages in one conversation, by phone number or thread (groups too).
`search_messages`	Search every sent and received text by words, number, or contact name.
`send_message`	Send a text or picture message (MMS) now or at a scheduled time, from a chosen phone and SIM. Several numbers make a group text.
`send_broadcast`	Send one text to up to 500 numbers, each as its own message, with `{{name}}`-style personalization.
`get_message_status`	Whether a sent message is queued, sent, delivered, or failed.
`list_scheduled_messages`	Messages waiting to go out later.
`cancel_scheduled_message`	Call off a scheduled message before it sends.
`list_contacts`	List or search contacts, or everyone with a tag.
`list_contact_tags`	Every tag in use on your contacts.
`save_contact`	Create a contact or update one by phone number. Fields you leave out are kept; tags are added.

Sending tools send real texts to real people from your number. Good clients ask before calling them; you can also set them to always ask in your client's tool settings.

Example prompts

"Which of my phones are online?"
"Show my last 10 conversations that got a reply."
"Read my conversation with +1 555 123 4567 and draft a reply."
"Text +15551234567: Running 10 minutes late, see you soon."
"Schedule a text to +15559876543 for tomorrow at 9am Eastern: Good morning!"
"Find anyone who texted the word interested this week."
"Add +15551112222 as Dana Lee from Acme with the tag vip."
"Send everyone tagged vip: Hi {{first_name|there}}, early access opens today."

Troubleshooting

"ATX_API_KEY is not set" or "Invalid API key": check the key in your client config and that it has not been deleted on the API Keys page.
"No devices registered": pair a phone in the Android Texter app first.
Messages stay queued: the phone is offline or the app is not running. Open the app on the phone. A message that cannot go out within 24 hours is marked failed.
"Daily message limit reached": the free plan has a daily cap. Upgrade in the dashboard under Billing.
