PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Can do 8 things (tools) bulksms_get_profile, bulksms_list_messages, bulksms_get_message, bulksms_list_replies …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • bulksms_get_profile

    Show the BulkSMS account: username, credit balance, credit limit, whether credit transfer is allowed, the daily message quota (size and remaining today) and the sender ids this account may use. Company and billing details are left out. BulkSMS REST: GET /profile.

  • bulksms_list_messages

    List sent (SENT) and received (RECEIVED) SMS messages, newest first by default. BulkSMS limits the window to the last 7 days unless submission_date_from is given. To page newest-first, pass before_id = the smallest id of the previous page; with sort_order ASCENDING pass after_id

  • bulksms_get_message

    Get one sent or received message by its id: body, recipient, delivery status, number of parts and credit cost. BulkSMS REST: GET /messages/{id}.

  • bulksms_list_replies

    List the received (RECEIVED) replies linked to a sent message id. Only messages sent with a REPLIABLE sender have linked replies. An empty list means none or an unknown id. BulkSMS REST: GET /messages/{id}/relatedReceivedMessages.

  • bulksms_list_blocked_numbers

    List phone numbers the account may not send to (added via the API, by a recipient replying STOP, or by BulkSMS). To page, pass min_id = the largest id of the previous page + 1. BulkSMS REST: GET /blocked-numbers.

  • bulksms_list_webhooks

    List the account's webhooks (name, trigger SENT/RECEIVED, active flag, invoke option). Only the host of each webhook URL is shown: the path and query can hold a secret. Read-only: webhooks are not changed by this server. BulkSMS REST: GET /webhooks.

  • bulksms_send_message

    WRITE: SENDS REAL SMS to real people and SPENDS CREDITS from the user's BulkSMS account; it cannot be undone or recalled. One message text to 1 to 10 phone numbers in international format (e.g. +447700900000). Cost = credits per message part x number of parts x number of recipien

  • bulksms_block_number

    WRITE: adds ONE phone number to the account's blocked list, so that no further messages are sent to it (a send to a blocked number fails with FAILED.BLOCKED and still costs credits). This API has no way to remove a block again: do it only when the user asks for it. BulkSMS REST:

Common questions

Is BulkSMS MCP by usefulapi 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (1.22.3) reached the registry yesterday.

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?

In the same category: Vexa, emailmd, MCP WhatsApp Cloud

BulkSMS 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 /mcp to 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.
