iBlueText MCP server
Text your customers from your AI assistant. iBlueText sends real blue-bubble iMessage, SMS and WhatsApp from a business's own dedicated phone number, and checks which numbers are iPhones. This MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other MCP client native tools for it: send one message or a whole campaign, read replies and lead scores, manage contacts, sequences and quick answers, and run iPhone / WhatsApp lookups.
There are two ways to connect.
1. Hosted (ChatGPT, Claude, no API key)
Server URL: https://ibluetext.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in)
- Claude: Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector › paste the URL › Connect, then sign in to iBlueText and click Allow.
- ChatGPT: Settings › Apps (Developer mode) › create an app with the URL, then sign in and Allow.
- Any remote-MCP client: use the URL; the client discovers OAuth from
/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource.
22 tools with plain verb names (send_message, create_campaign, check_iphones, list_conversations, ...). Full list and example prompts: https://ibluetext.com/ai-assistants
2. Local package with an API key (developers, 30 tools)
- Create an API key at https://ibluetext.com/portal/integrations.php
- Add this to your MCP client config (for example Claude Desktop
claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ibluetext": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "ibluetext-mcp"],
"env": { "IBT_API_KEY": "sk-ibt-your_key_here" }
}
}
}
Claude Code: claude mcp add ibluetext --env IBT_API_KEY=sk-ibt-... -- npx -y ibluetext-mcp
The package adds SMS verification, verify-widget sites and reply webhooks to the hosted tool set.

Notes
- Paid actions return HTTP 402 when the account is out of credits or has no active line. The tool result is flagged
payment_required: true; a person adds credits or a line in the iBlueText dashboard. - Opt-outs (STOP) and each line's daily new-contact limit always apply.
- WhatsApp numbers warm up from 10 new conversations on day 1 to 300/day by day 21; someone who never replied gets at most 3 messages; under 15% replies over 7 days halves the daily limit. Open with a question like "Hey, is this {first_name}?".
