Key Takeaways

  • What is MCP for SMS on an Android gateway: Model Context Protocol lets an agent call tools; your tools wrap the Android SMS gateway REST API.
  • Not a first-party Cursor/Claude/Windsurf SMS plugin. Keys in env. Never echo OTP.
  • Phones and operator airtime remain the delivery physics.
  • Link overview and example-prompt siblings; this page is in-depth primer.
  • Live fields live in Developer Center. No MCP server source dump required here.
  • You bring the Android and operator credit. We meter devices and send volume.

MCP is tools over your REST

What is MCP for SMS on an Android SMS gateway — in-depth — defines Model Context Protocol as an optional tool layer over HTTPS/JSON to paired Androids. Spec: MCP specification. Overview: MCP server overview. Prompt twin: what-is-MCP example prompt.

MCP is a socket for tools. The SMS still leaves through a radio you own and airtime you buy.
Dot hopping agent → MCP → REST → SIMagentMCPREST
Agent → MCP → REST → SIM. Skip none of the physics.
