MCP server for interacting with your LINE Official Account
Africa's Talking MCP by usefulapi is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.
What it does
Read Africa's Talking balance, incoming SMS, transactions; send SMS, airtime, data and voice calls.
Quickstart
# 1 — add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http africa-s-talking-mcp-by-usefulapi https://africas-talking.usefulapi.io/mcp
# 2 — ask your agent for something these tools do
# africastalking_get_balance, africastalking_fetch_messages, africastalking_send_sms and 7 more
Africa's Talking MCP by usefulapi costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.
Collected from a public index. Nobody has claimed this account, so nothing here was written by its author — claim it if it is yours.
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. Nothing here runs on your machine and nothing runs on ours: this server answers at its publisher’s own address, and what you install is the connection straight to it.
This is a public server: it answers at its publisher’s own address and this marketplace is not in the path. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The transport below is http, as the publisher's own manifest declares it.
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http africa-s-talking-mcp-by-usefulapi https://africas-talking.usefulapi.io/mcpReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
One config entry pointing straight at the publisher’s own address — this marketplace is not in the path, and nothing from this listing executes on your machine.
10 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.
Tool surface
What the model actually sees. Descriptions are diffed on every release — see version history.
The Africa's Talking app balance (SMS/airtime wallet), e.g. {"balance": "KES 1250.0000"}. The sandbox app has no balance. GET /version1/user.
No parameter schema on file.
Fetch incoming SMS received on your shortcodes/numbers, oldest first, in batches (default 25 per call). Pass last_received_id (0 for the first call, then next_last_received_id from the previous reply) to move through them; has_more stays true while a call returns messages, so keep calling until count is 0. Optional shortcode and keyword filters. GET /version1/messaging.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| last_received_id | integer | no | Id of the last message already read (default 0 = from the start). |
| short_code | string | no | Only messages sent to this shortcode / number. |
| keyword | string | no | Only messages that start with this keyword. |
| limit | integer | no | Most messages to return per call (default 25); has_more says if more are waiting. |
WRITE: send one text message to up to 100 phone numbers. Spends account credit and delivers to real phones (the sandbox app only reaches the simulator). Needs confirm=true after the user approved the recipients and text. Returns the vendor's per-recipient status (statusCode 101 = sent), message ids and cost. Never retried. POST /version1/messaging.

| confirm | boolean | yes | Must be true. Set it only after the user has explicitly approved this exact send (recipients, text/amount); it spends account credit. |
WRITE: top up mobile airtime for up to 25 phone numbers. Spends account credit immediately and cannot be reversed. Needs confirm=true after the user approved each number and amount. Amounts are in the given ISO currency (e.g. KES, UGX, TZS). Pass an idempotency_key to make a retry safe.

| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| recipients | array | yes | — |
| idempotency_key | string | no | Optional unique key (8-100 chars) for this send; the same key makes Africa's Talking ignore a duplicate request. |
| confirm | boolean | yes | Must be true. Set it only after the user has explicitly approved this exact send (recipients, text/amount); it spends account credit. |
Look up an airtime transaction by its transaction id (the requestId / ATPid_... from a send reply): status, amount, destination and discount. GET /query/transaction/find.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| transaction_id | string | yes | The transaction id, e.g. ATPid_... |

The balance of the mobile data wallet, e.g. {"status": "Success", "balance": "KES 500.0000"}. GET bundles /query/wallet/balance.
No parameter schema on file.
WRITE: place an outbound voice call from one of your Africa's Talking numbers to up to 10 phone numbers. The call is billed and rings real phones; what is said is decided by the voice callback URL configured for the number in the dashboard. Needs confirm=true after the user approved the numbers.

- Every tool — any call limit is its publisher’s, not ours
- No card, and mcprush charges nothing for it
- Runs at its publisher’s own address — this marketplace is not in the path
- Nothing to cap, because mcprush bills nothing
What counts against your monthly calls
| Tool | Unit | Calls used | Out of the allowance |
|---|
Nothing here is billable: mcprush charges nothing to install Africa's Talking MCP by usefulapi or to call it, at any volume.
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
| Term | Level | What it prices | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| capability-exposure | moderate | capability blast radius (moderate) — client exposure if the model is manipulated | −3 |
| coverage-honesty | manifest | inspection depth (manifest) — how much of the target the scan could see | −4 |
What the scan could actually read
A grade is only as meaningful as its coverage, so the scanner publishes its own depth before it publishes its result.
The scan read each tool’s name, description, input schema and annotations exactly as the server listed them the last time it answered us; no code was reviewed. We ask the server again about once a month, and a list that changed is graded again.
The implementation source was not read — this reflects the declared tool metadata only.
Capability — what it could do if the model were manipulated
Tags derived from each tool’s schema and the implementation, not from what the tool calls itself. moderate is the level these add up to.

Toxic-flow graph
The lethal trifecta, checked as a graph rather than as a checklist: untrusted input, a sensitive source and an external sink have to meet before there is a path worth worrying about.
Supply chain and provenance
This is the first scan of this surface here, so there is nothing yet to compare it against.
Every result on this tab comes from one deterministic pass over the published package — offline, rule by rule, and auditable line by line above. Same methodology version, same bytes, same score.
Release history
This is an address its publisher runs: which release it serves is theirs to choose, so there is nothing here to pin. The history below is for reading; the current release on file is 1.15.5.
No release note was published with this version.
One review per account, from a signed-in account that does not publish this listing. Nothing else is asked — you can say what you think before you install it. Publishers can reply once per review, and a review can be edited or deleted by whoever wrote it.
Any signed-in account that does not publish Africa's Talking MCP by usefulapi can review it, once — before installing it or after. A review from an account that has installed it is marked as one.
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes a signed-in account that does not publish it, and nothing else.
