How do I connect Text-Em-All?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Text-Em-All application key, Text-Em-All secret key and Text-Em-All user token.

Text-Em-All issues all three values. Find them in Settings → API. They are used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the name Text-Em-All and this URL, then click Add:
    https://text-em-all.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. Claude opens the login page: enter your Text-Em-All application key, Text-Em-All secret key and Text-Em-All user token.
  4. In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Text-Em-All.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

  1. Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name Text-Em-All and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
    https://text-em-all.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your Text-Em-All application key, Text-Em-All secret key and Text-Em-All user token.
  4. In Plugins, install Text-Em-All, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http text-em-all https://text-em-all.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "text-em-all": {
      "url": "https://text-em-all.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "text-em-all": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://text-em-all.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add text-em-all --url https://text-em-all.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login text-em-all

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.

https://text-em-all.usefulapi.io/mcp

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 Text-Em-All application key, Text-Em-All secret key and Text-Em-All user 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.

Each paid plan covers this Text-Em-All server only. Ask your AI to run text_em_all_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 text_em_all_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 text_em_all_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

  • List broadcaststext_em_all_list_broadcasts
    List broadcasts (text + voice campaigns) as a paged Feed { Size, Items:[...], Previous, Next }. Text-Em-All API: GET /v1/broadcasts.

  • Send a broadcasttext_em_all_create_broadcast
    MUTATES Text-Em-All data AND SENDS MESSAGES (spends account credits): creates + sends a broadcast to the given contacts. Text-Em-All API: POST /v1/broadcasts. Set broadcastType to 'SMS' (a text broadcast — provide textMessage) or 'Announcement' (a voice broadcast — provide voiceText for text-to-speech, or a pre-recorded AudioID via `fields.Audio`). Contacts is a list of { primaryPhone, firstName?, lastName?, notes? }. Extra documented fields (CallerID, TextNumberID, Lists, RetryTimes, CallThrottle, MaxMessageLength, StartDate, CheckCallingWindow) go through `fields` (PascalCase). Returns the created broadcast.
  • Send a conversation texttext_em_all_send_text_message
    MUTATES Text-Em-All data AND SENDS A TEXT (spends credits): sends a 1:1 conversation text message immediately from one of your toll-free text numbers to a single contact. Text-Em-All API: POST /v1/conversations. You need a textNumberId (from text_em_all_list_text_numbers). Returns the conversation.
  • Create a draft broadcasttext_em_all_create_draft_broadcast
    MUTATES Text-Em-All data (creates a DRAFT — does NOT send anything): stages a broadcast with the given contacts and returns a single-sign-on URL to finish + send it in the Text-Em-All UI. Safer than text_em_all_create_broadcast when a human should review before sending. Text-Em-All API: POST /v1/draftbroadcasts. Returns { SingleSignOnUrl, ... }.
  • Add an account usertext_em_all_add_account_user
    MUTATES Text-Em-All data: adds a new user to your account (a master user can do this). Text-Em-All API: POST /v1/account/users. Provide the user's fields via `fields` using the API's PascalCase names (e.g. UserName, FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, Permissions). Returns the created user.
  • Update an account usertext_em_all_update_account_user
    MUTATES Text-Em-All data: updates an existing account user. Text-Em-All API: PUT /v1/account/users/{user_id}. Provide the fields to change via `fields` (PascalCase, e.g. FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, Permissions). The user_id is never sent in the body. Returns the updated user.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)text_em_all_usage_status
    Report 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 featuretext_em_all_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Text-Em-All 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+text_em_all_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Text-Em-All (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 (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). 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 subscriptiontext_em_all_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Text-Em-All 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 text_em_all_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Text-Em-All in Claude or ChatGPT?

Review recent broadcasts and their results. Check who a broadcast reached. Check our credit balance and account settings. See our contact lists and text numbers. Send a broadcast or stage a draft. Send a one-to-one text to a contact. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Text-Em-All product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Text-Em-All. The server calls the Text-Em-All API with your own Text-Em-All access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Text-Em-All 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 Text-Em-All application key, Text-Em-All secret key and Text-Em-All user token. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my Text-Em-All 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 Text-Em-All application key, Text-Em-All secret key and Text-Em-All user 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 Text-Em-All credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Text-Em-All 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 Text-Em-All.

Can the AI change my Text-Em-All data?

Yes, if you approve it. 5 of the 14 Text-Em-All tools can create or change data. The other 9 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 Text-Em-All server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run text_em_all_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run text_em_all_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 text_em_all_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Text-Em-All tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with text_em_all_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.
