What you can do with Notifyre in Claude and ChatGPT
For businesses that send SMS and faxes and keep an address book in Notifyre.
Check which texts were sent and if they were delivered
The AI lists sent SMS with recipient, status and cost, filtered by status and date, and opens one for the delivery status of every recipient.
Read the replies to your texts
The AI lists SMS replies received on your numbers, with the reply text if you ask for it. You see what customers answered.
See sent and received faxes
The AI lists faxes sent from the account with status and failure reason, and faxes received with sender, number, time and pages.
Check SMS prices, numbers and sender IDs before sending
The AI lists the price of one SMS per country, your SMS numbers and approved sender IDs. It helps you work out the cost of a send.
Send an SMS to up to 10 numbers
The AI sends one text to 1 to 10 mobile numbers. This sends real messages and spends your prepaid balance, so check the price list first.
Changes dataAdd contacts and groups to the address book
The AI adds a contact with names and numbers, creates a group, and adds existing contacts to groups. Adding a contact to a group does not send anything.
Changes dataHow do I connect Notifyre?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your Notifyre API token.
Create a token in the Notifyre dashboard under Settings > Developer > New. The token acts with its role's permissions; use a role that can send and receive, not the Developer role. Sending SMS through this server spends the prepaid balance of your account. Your token is used only to call the Notifyre API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude Code
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Cursor
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"notifyre": {
"url": "https://notifyre.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"notifyre": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://notifyre.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Codex
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other clients
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Notifyre API token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper API token | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per API token | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Notifyre server only. Ask your AI to run notifyre_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with notifyre_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with notifyre_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

- Send SMS
notifyre_send_smsWRITE: SENDS REAL SMS to real people and SPENDS the prepaid balance of the user's Notifyre account; it cannot be undone or recalled and is never retried. One text to 1 to 10 mobile numbers in international format with "+" (e.g. +61412345678); no contacts, no groups, no scheduling. Cost = price per message part (see notifyre_list_sms_prices; it depends on the destination country) x number of parts x number of recipients; the text may be up to 640 characters (160 per part, 70 with emoji or non-GSM characters, a little less per part when it is longer). Only send what the user explicitly asked for: confirm the exact text, the recipients and the sender first. Recipients must have agreed to receive messages. A commercial SMS needs an opt-out (Australia: Spam Act 2003; Notifyre Terms and Conditions 13.5): set add_unsubscribe_link true to append Notifyre's opt-out link, or put your own opt-out instruction in the text. The default is false, so the requirement is yours to meet. US numbers need a registered 10DLC campaign. Omit `from` to send from a Notifyre shared number. An unclear result (timeout, HTTP 5xx) means the message may still have been sent: check notifyre_list_sent_sms before trying again. - Create a contact
notifyre_create_contactWRITE: adds one contact to the Notifyre address book. Give at least a name or a number. Numbers in international format (e.g. +61412345678). groups takes existing group ids; group_name puts the contact in that group and CREATES the group if it does not exist. Creating the same contact twice may make a duplicate. - Create a contact group
notifyre_create_groupWRITE: creates one address book group with the given name. - Add contacts to groups
notifyre_add_contacts_to_groupsWRITE: adds existing contacts to existing groups (up to 100 contacts and 20 groups). Contacts keep their other groups. Adding a contact to a group does not send anything, but a later send to that group reaches it.
Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
notifyre_usage_statusReport the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. - Request a missing feature
notifyre_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Notifyre tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. - Upgrade to Pro or Pro+
notifyre_upgradeGet a paid plan for Notifyre (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. - Cancel the Pro subscription
notifyre_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Notifyre Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run notifyre_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Notifyre in Claude or ChatGPT?
Check which texts were sent and if they were delivered. Read the replies to your texts. See sent and received faxes. Check SMS prices, numbers and sender IDs before sending. Send an SMS to up to 10 numbers. Add contacts and groups to the address book. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Notifyre product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Notifyre. The server calls the Notifyre API with your own Notifyre access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Notifyre to Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
What do I need to connect?
The login page asks for your Notifyre API token. See Before you connect for where to find it.
Do I put my Notifyre key or an Authorization header in the client config?
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Notifyre API token. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
How do you keep my Notifyre credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Notifyre API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Notifyre.
Can the AI change my Notifyre data?
Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 21 Notifyre tools can create or change data. The other 17 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
What does it cost?
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Notifyre server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run notifyre_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run notifyre_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run notifyre_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Notifyre tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with notifyre_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Which AI clients can I use?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
