Sendblue MCP Server: Send iMessages from Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard that lets AI models use external tools. When you install the Sendblue MCP server, your AI assistant gains the ability to send iMessages, check if a number has iMessage, look up conversations, and more — all through natural language commands.

Example: Tell Claude Code "Send an iMessage to +15551234567 saying the deployment is complete" and it will use the Sendblue MCP tools to send the message.

The Sendblue MCP server provides 18 tools for AI editors and agents:

Configure in your AI tool's MCP settings with your Sendblue API credentials. The server requires SENDBLUE_API_KEY and SENDBLUE_API_SECRET environment variables.

The MCP server exposes these tools to your AI assistant:

• send-message — Send an iMessage to any number
• send-group-message — Send to a group conversation
• send-typing-indicator — Show typing bubble
• send-reaction — Send tapback reactions
• evaluate-service — Check if a number has iMessage
• get-messages — Retrieve message history
• get-contacts — List contacts
• create-contact — Add a new contact
• set-webhook — Configure webhook URLs
• ...and 9 more tools for complete API access

• Deployment notifications: "Send an iMessage to the team when this deployment finishes"
• Testing: "Send a test iMessage to my number with this content"
• Debugging: "Check if +15551234567 has iMessage enabled"
• Customer outreach: "Send a follow-up to the last 5 contacts who haven't responded"
• On-call alerts: Build AI-powered alerting that pages via iMessage

The MCP server turns iMessage into a first-class tool in your AI development workflow. Combined with Claude Code's ability to read and write code, you can build, test, and deploy iMessage integrations entirely through conversation.
