What the assistant can call

  • Messaging — The Messaging tool exposed by this server
  • Reporting — The Reporting tool exposed by this server
  • Contacts — The Contacts tool exposed by this server
  • Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server

Configuration and credentials

You will need 5 environment variables: SINCH_ENGAGE_API_KEY, SINCH_ENGAGE_API_SECRET, SINCH_ENGAGE_REGION, MCP_TOOL_CATEGORIES, MCP_TOOL_MODES. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Setting it up

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the sinch engage / messagemedia mcp server does with a few real requests.
