How to: Claude Desktop Messente MCP by usefulapi messente_send_sms

client:Claude Desktop transport:streamable-http tool:messente_send_sms

Add Messente MCP by usefulapi to Claude Desktop

  1. 01

    Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "messente": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://messente.usefulapi.io/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

  2. 03

    Ask for something messente_send_sms does. Claude Desktop lists the server's tools on connect and calls messente_send_sms itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Messente MCP by usefulapi's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Claude Desktop has no remote transport in its config file, so this bridges through mcp-remote. Restart the app after saving. Claude Desktop docs

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 12 October 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
