46elks FAQs

Question 1

What is the 46elks MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

The 46elks MCP Server is an unofficial community project that connects AI assistants and MCP-compatible clients (like Claude Desktop or VS Code Copilot) to the 46elks SMS API, enabling them to send and manage SMS messages via Swedish telecommunications infrastructure.

Question 2

How does the Dry Run mode work for cost protection?

Accepted Answer

Dry Run mode, enabled by default, simulates SMS sending with realistic cost estimates without actually delivering messages or incurring charges. This is crucial for testing and development, preventing unexpected expenses.

Question 3

Can I use a custom Sender ID for SMS messages?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can specify a custom Sender ID (up to 11 alphanumeric characters) or another phone number. The server includes integrated anti-spoofing protection and offers guidance for secure and best-practice usage.

Question 4

What SMS management features are available?

Accepted Answer

Beyond sending, the server allows you to retrieve SMS message history (inbound/outbound), check delivery statuses for sent messages, estimate message costs, monitor your 46elks account balance, and analyze delivery statistics.

Question 5

Is Flash SMS supported on all mobile devices?

Accepted Answer

Flash SMS is generally supported by Android devices and most feature phones, displaying as a popup. However, it is not supported by iPhone/iPad devices; iOS will show Flash SMS messages as regular SMS messages in the Messages app.
