What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes friction for engineering teams that need to call Braze programmatically by consolidating REST API usage, MCP server configuration, and function-to-endpoint mappings into a single reference workflow. It helps translate conversational assistant requests into correctly authenticated API calls and MCP tool invocations so sends, user updates, and exports work reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

• REST API Quick Reference: Endpoint summaries, authentication headers, common request/response shapes, and SMS send examples.
• MCP Server Guidance: Installation notes, environment variable configuration, Claude Code registration, and available MCP functions mapped to REST endpoints.
• Debug & Best Practices: Region selection, permission scoping for API keys, subscription group handling for SMS, and common error fixes for failed calls.
• Use Case: Trigger a transactional SMS from a backend service, update user attributes prior to a send, or have Claude Code invoke an MCP send_message tool and return a dispatch_id.

Quick Start

Configure BRAZE_API_KEY and BRAZE_API_URL, register the MCP server with Claude Code, then ask the assistant to "Send an SMS to external_id ext_456 using subscription group sg_abc with body Your order has shipped."
