In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@clicksend-mcp check my received messages"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

list_contacts - view contacts/numbers in a specific group, or across all groups ("everyone").
get_received_messages - read incoming SMS replies.
send_sms - send a message to one number, a group's numbers, or everyone. Claude will always show you the drafted message and recipient list for your approval before sending.
Ask Claude to check messages, pull a contact list, or draft an SMS to a group. Claude will show you the exact text and recipient count and wait for your explicit "send it" before anything goes out.
