Exclusive Feature

Native Claude AI Integration

ZorroFlow is the only SMS API with native Model Context Protocol (MCP) support. Send SMS directly from Claude Code using natural language commands.

With ZorroFlow + Claude:

"Send an SMS to +1555123456

saying 'Your order has shipped'"

Claude handles everything automatically

With Twilio:

const twilio = require('twilio');
const client = twilio(accountSid, authToken);
await client.messages.create({
  body: 'Your order has shipped',
  to: '+1555123456',
  from: '+1234567890'
});
