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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http sms https://smsportal.app/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"

Common questions

Is smsportal.app SMS safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 8 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

SMS Portal|app MCP server

Send and read SMS from your own Android phone through AI agents such as Claude, Cursor or any other Model Context Protocol client.

smsportal.app turns an Android phone into an SMS gateway: messages go out from your own number and SIM, and incoming SMS are available through the API. This server exposes that account to AI agents. It is not affiliated with SMSPortal (Pty) Ltd of South Africa.

Use the hosted server (recommended)

Create an account at smsportal.app, pair your Android phone and create an API key in the dashboard.
Add the server to your client.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http smsportal https://smsportal.app/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer $SMSPORTAL_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop and other clients without custom headers (via mcp-remote, Node.js 18+)

"mcpServers": { "smsportal": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://smsportal.app/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"], "env": { "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer YOUR_SMSPORTAL_API_KEY" } } } }

Step-by-step guide: smsportal.app/en/integrations/mcp.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`smsportal_list_devices`	Phones paired with the account and their last heartbeat and SIM state
`smsportal_get_stats`	Sent, received and device totals
`smsportal_list_messages`	Search sent and received SMS by text, number, phone, status and time
`smsportal_read_received_sms`	Incoming SMS already synchronised by the phone
`smsportal_get_send_status`	Per-recipient status of a batch returned by `smsportal_send_sms`
`smsportal_send_sms`	Send an exact message to up to 50 E.164 numbers from your phone

API acceptance is not proof of delivery; check the send status afterwards. Set SMSPORTAL_READ_ONLY=true to remove the sending tool.

Run it yourself

git clone https://github.com/aleksanderem/smsportal-mcp && cd smsportal-mcp

npm ci && npm run build

Local (stdio) client entry:

"mcpServers": { "smsportal": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/smsportal-mcp/dist/index.js"], "env": { "SMSPORTAL_API_KEY": "YOUR_SMSPORTAL_API_KEY" } } } }

Variable	Default	Meaning
`SMSPORTAL_API_KEY`	—	API key (stdio mode)
`SMSPORTAL_API_URL`	`https://smsportal.app/api/v1`	API base URL
`SMSPORTAL_READ_ONLY`	`false`	`true` hides the sending tool
`SMSPORTAL_PUBLIC_ORIGIN`	`http://localhost:18080`	HTTP mode: the only browser origin allowed
`SMSPORTAL_TRUST_PROXY`	`false`	HTTP mode: trust one reverse-proxy hop for the caller address
`HOST`, `PORT`	`127.0.0.1`, `3002`	HTTP mode listener

HTTP mode (node dist/index.js --http, or the Dockerfile) serves Streamable HTTP at /mcp, takes the API key from Authorization: Bearer (or an x-api-key header, for hosts that cannot add the Bearer prefix), validates it before every request and rate-limits per caller network.
