Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Android Texter API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Android Texter API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fandroidtexter.com%2Fandroidtexter" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fandroidtexter.com%2Fandroidtexter" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Android Texter API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Agent-sent SMS from a linked phone

An AI agent connected through Jentic sends a text to a customer through the user's own linked Android device and then confirms it landed. It broadcasts the message, reads back delivery status, and can pull the conversation history to see the reply. Because the agent finds operations by intent, outbound texting works without a developer wiring the device and messaging endpoints by hand.

Send a broadcast message to one phone number, then check its delivery status and return the conversation history for that number

Two-way SMS with inbound webhooks

To handle replies, the API registers a webhook that pushes inbound messages to your endpoint as they arrive. An agent can create the webhook, then react to each incoming text, for example by sending a quick reply. This supports conversational SMS flows where the agent responds to customers rather than only blasting one-way messages.

Contact and spam management

The API keeps a contact list and a spam list so messaging stays organized. An agent can upsert a contact before messaging, and flag or unflag a phone number as spam to filter unwanted threads. This keeps outbound sends targeted and inbound noise under control without manual list upkeep.

Upsert a contact with a name and phone number, then flag a different number as spam

Key Endpoints

20 endpoints — the android texter api sends and receives sms through a user's own linked android phones rather than a carrier gateway.

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring the Android Texter API by hand means choosing between its X-API-Key and bearer-JWT auth, linking a device, and handling inbound webhooks yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the API from the Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

The Android Texter API carries its targets in the request body, so rules bound which operations your agent may call: you can allow message sends and delivery-status reads while leaving device management and webhook deletion out unless you add them. You choose the operations it may use.

Credential isolation

Your Android Texter API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'send a text message' or 'check delivery status', and Jentic returns the matching Android Texter operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Android Texter API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Android Texter API use?

The Android Texter API authenticates with an API key sent in the X-API-Key header, or a bearer JWT sent in the Authorization header, as declared in its OpenAPI spec. Through Jentic the credential is stored once by your own self-hosted instance and injected at call time, so it never appears in the agent's prompt or logs.

Can I send and receive text messages with the Android Texter API?

Yes. You broadcast outbound SMS through a linked Android device, list received messages, and read the conversation history for a phone number. Registering a webhook pushes inbound messages to your endpoint so an agent can reply in near real time.

Is there an Android Texter API MCP server?

You do not need an MCP server to give your agent the Android Texter API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import the API, store your API key once, and your agent sends and reads messages on demand without loading another server's tool definitions into its context.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Android Texter API?

Yes. Write a rule that allows only the message-send and delivery-status read operations, so the agent can text and confirm delivery but cannot delete webhooks or manage devices unless you add those, and every call it makes is logged for review. The Android Texter API carries its targets in the request body, so rules bound which operations the agent may call.

What are the rate limits for the Android Texter API?

The OpenAPI spec does not specify rate limits for the Android Texter API, and throughput also depends on the linked Android device. Check the vendor documentation at https://androidtexter.com for current limits before sending large broadcasts.

How do I send a text with the Android Texter API through Jentic?

Search Jentic for an intent such as 'send an SMS broadcast', and it returns the matching operation with its input schema so your agent passes the number and message correctly. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.

For Agents

Send SMS broadcasts and read replies through linked Android devices, check delivery status and conversation history, and manage contacts, quick replies, and inbound webhooks.

Use for: I need to send a text message to a customer, Send a broadcast SMS to a list of contacts, Check whether my last text was delivered, Retrieve the conversation history for a phone number

Not supported: Does not handle email, voice calls, or push notifications. Use for SMS messaging through linked Android devices only.

The Android Texter API sends and receives SMS through a user's own linked Android phones rather than a carrier gateway. It broadcasts outbound messages, lists received messages, reports delivery status for a sent message, and returns the conversation history for a phone number. Around messaging it manages contacts, quick replies, linked devices, spam flagging, and webhooks that push inbound events to your own endpoint.
