I Turned My Android Phone Into an MCP Server — Now My AI Can Text People

Your AI Just Got a Last week I asked my AI assistant to text my wife that I was running late. It did. From my phone. No Twilio. No third-party API. Just my actual number, sending a real SMS, triggered by a natural language request to GitHub Copilot CLI. The trick? I turned my Android into an MCP server. MCP - the Model Context Protocol - is the open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. Think of it as USB-C for AI: one standard plug, infinite peripherals. My is now one of those peripherals.
