Connect Claude & ChatGPT to SimpleTexting

Ask your AI to text a customer, add someone to a list, or show you who replied, and it works in your SimpleTexting account. It can send SMS and MMS, check how many credits a message will use, read sent and received messages, and manage contacts, lists and custom fields. It can also send campaigns to whole lists or segments, with your approval if you want it.

Try asking

“Text Maria Jensen that her order is ready for pickup.”
The AI finds Maria's contact and sends her an SMS. This is a real text message and uses credits.
“How many credits would this message use?”
It checks how the text would be sent and how many credits it would use, without sending anything.
“Show me the messages we got since Monday.”
It lists sent and received messages since Monday, so you can see the replies.

What your AI can do

Messages

Send SMS and MMS to one contact, check the credit cost first, and read sent and received messages.

Campaigns

List and read campaigns, and send a campaign to whole lists or segments.

“Add Jonas Berg to the VIP list with his number.”
It creates the contact, or updates the existing one with the same number, and adds him to the VIP list.

It creates the contact list and adds each contact to it.
“Send the weekend sale message to the VIP list.”
It sends a campaign to every contact on the list. This texts all of them and uses credits.

Questions

What can the AI do in SimpleTexting?

The AI can send SMS and MMS, check what a message would cost in credits, and read sent and received messages. It can create, update and delete contacts, create lists and add or remove contacts, and list segments and custom fields. It can also list and read campaigns, send campaigns to lists or segments, list your sending numbers and upload media for MMS from a link.

Does the AI see my SimpleTexting credentials?

No. Your SimpleTexting credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Sending a message or a campaign texts real people and uses credits, and deleting a contact is permanent. Those actions can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own SimpleTexting account. Texts sent through the AI use your SimpleTexting credits.

Can I choose which number texts are sent from?

Yes. The AI can list the phone numbers on your SimpleTexting account that messages can be sent from, and send from the one you name. For MMS it can attach media you have already uploaded, or first upload an image from a public link.
