Text Claude Code from your phone, and get a text when it's done

Set up Claude Code

1. 1

   Install the plugin, which bundles the MCP server and the Agent Skill. In a Claude Code session:

   /plugin marketplace add rwfresh/aitextaroo-clients
   /plugin install aitextaroo@aitextaroo

2. 2

   Run /mcp and sign in to aitextaroo with your phone. There's no API key to copy, and we'll text you that the app is connected.

3. 3

   Or add only the MCP server, with your API key (user scope, so every project gets it):

   claude mcp add --transport http --scope user aitextaroo https://api.aitextaroo.com/mcp \
     --header "Authorization: Bearer $AITEXTAROO_API_KEY"

4. 4

   Ask: “When you finish this, text me a summary with AI Text-a-roo and wait for my reply.”

5. 5

   To text Claude Code from your phone, run the bridge:

   pipx install aitextaroo
   aitextaroo-setup --save
   aitextaroo-bridge --agent claude

Things to ask Claude Code

• “When the test suite passes, text me and ask whether to open a PR. Wait for my answer.”Copy
• “If you get blocked for more than 10 minutes, text me what you need.”Copy

Good to know

• Claude Code Channels connect to Telegram, Discord and iMessage on macOS, but not SMS. AI Text-a-roo works from any phone.
• Don't run the bridge and an in-session wait_for_reply on the same account at once: a waiting session takes your next text first.
