How do I use sendIMessage from Claude or ChatGPT?

Connect your AI to The Cloud at https://mcp.thecloud.so/mcp and sign in once. Then ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI connected to The Cloud "text the Cake Ann group", and it calls sendIMessage.

Is sendIMessage safe to let an AI call?

sendIMessage widens who can see or receive something, so the owner approves every call explicitly. An AI cannot approve it for itself. It reaches a system outside The Cloud on your behalf.
