SMS + DeepSeek integration
Connect SMS to DeepSeek
ConnectChats brings your SMS chats into DeepSeek. Ask DeepSeek to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What DeepSeek can do with your SMS
ConnectChats gives DeepSeek a small set of tools. DeepSeek calls them when you ask about your SMS chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and DeepSeek reads your unread SMS chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. DeepSeek searches your SMS history and quotes the message.

Draft replies
DeepSeek writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.

Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own SMS account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

How SMS and DeepSeek work together
How SMS works with ConnectChats depends on your phone. On Android, ConnectChats pairs with Google Messages the way Google Messages for web does. On iPhone, texts come through a Mac that receives them with Text Message Forwarding.

SMS in ConnectChats
SMS and MMS are supported on both phones, and RCS chats on Android. The phone, or the Mac on iPhone, has to stay on and online, because it is the device that actually sends and receives the texts. When a chat is linked, it starts with its last 200 messages, then everything new. Texts are sent from your own number, after you approve them.

ConnectChats in DeepSeek
ConnectChats works with DeepSeek through an MCP server or connector setting, where one is offered for your account, and through AI apps that support MCP and run DeepSeek models. Add it with https://api.connectchats.com/mcp and sign in with your passkey. Apps that support MCP servers and let you pick a DeepSeek model also use ConnectChats. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in DeepSeek without linking them again. ConnectChats only sees the chats you choose to share, and it asks for your approval before any reply is sent.
Your SMS stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
DeepSeek only sees the SMS chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
DeepSeek prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches SMS, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Questions
Can DeepSeek read my SMS messages?
Yes, once you link SMS in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to DeepSeek. DeepSeek reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can DeepSeek send SMS messages for me?
DeepSeek can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own SMS account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the SMS to DeepSeek integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside DeepSeek and link SMS from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link SMS once and use it everywhere.
Does it use my own phone number?
Yes. Texts go out from your phone through your carrier, exactly as if you had typed them. ConnectChats does not give you a new number.
Do I need a Mac for SMS on iPhone?
Yes. Apple gives no other way to reach iPhone texts, so a Mac that stays on is required. Android does not need one.
Can I use ConnectChats with DeepSeek today?
Yes. Add ConnectChats with https://api.connectchats.com/mcp in the MCP server or connector setting offered for your account, or use an AI app that supports MCP and runs DeepSeek models, then sign in with your passkey.
Which chats can DeepSeek see?
Only the chats you share in ConnectChats. DeepSeek can read those chats and draft replies, and nothing is sent until you approve it.
