# Claude recipes

> Let Claude read your conversations and send texts from your number after you approve each one.

Three recipes for Claude. Each names its trigger and the BlueBot step, lists the fields to map and says how to test it with your own number before anyone else gets a text.

## How Claude connects

- **[MCP](https://usebluebot.com/docs/mcp)**: BlueBot’s MCP server gives the assistant tools to send texts, read conversations and check your Mac.

## Catch up on today’s texts

| Part             | What it is                              |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Trigger          | You ask Claude                          |
| Action           | The assistant calls BlueBot’s MCP tools |
| Connects through | [MCP](https://usebluebot.com/docs/mcp)                        |

### Steps

1. Add BlueBot’s MCP server, [https://usebluebot.com/mcp](https://usebluebot.com/mcp), to Claude as a connector and sign in to BlueBot.
2. Ask Claude: “Who texted me today, and who is still waiting on an answer?”
3. Claude calls list_conversations and get_conversation and answers with each person and what they asked.

### Test it

Ask the assistant to text your own number first: “Text me at +1 555 555 0123 to say the setup works.” It shows the message BlueBot returned, and the text arrives on your phone from your own number.

### Steps

1. Ask Claude: “Text Marisol that the inspection moved to Thursday at 10.”
2. Claude finds her number with search_contacts and writes the text.
3. Claude shows you the send_text call, and the text goes from your number only after you approve it.

### Steps

1. Ask Claude: “Remind Ben at 9 tomorrow morning to bring his ID to the closing.”
2. Claude calls schedule_text with the time once you approve it, and BlueBot holds the text until then.
3. If plans change, ask Claude to cancel it, and it calls cancel_text.

### Test it

Ask the assistant to text your own number first: “Text me at +1 555 555 0123 to say the setup works.” It shows the message BlueBot returned, and the text arrives on your phone from your own number.

## Before you turn it on

- Text only people who asked to hear from you. Anyone who replies STOP goes on your stop list, and BlueBot cancels texts to them. [Stop words](https://usebluebot.com/docs/concepts/stop-words)
- A text that can’t go yet waits with a hold rather than failing: quiet hours, your Mac away, a daily limit. [Holds](https://usebluebot.com/docs/concepts/holds)
- [Claude with BlueBot](https://usebluebot.com/integrations/claude) on the integrations page says what else the two do together.
