Sinch recently launched its Agent Tools, a new suite of tools that helps developers build, test and deploy applications via the Sinch communication infrastructure platform. The offering adds to Sinch’s other development tools which includes SDKs, command-line tools and automation capabilities.
According to Sinch’s recent PRNewswire press release, Agent Tools assists developers by integrating the developer preferred development environment with AI-assisted coding tools:
Software development has changed rapidly with the rise of LLM platforms, as developers increasingly work in AI-assisted coding environments and expect product discovery, implementation guidance and testing to happen inside their workflow. Agent Tools gives those developers a set of integrations optimized for AI agents and modern development environments, reducing the need to move between coding tools, documentation and web portals when building with the Sinch platform.
The Agent Tools contain extensions for use in Visual Studio Code, JetBrains-based development environments and other Open VSX-compatible editors. The tools provide ways to “test integrations before making live API calls, support for AI coding assistants, and access to structured information covering multiple Sinch APIs and services.”

Support for AI-assisted development tools Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT Desktop is also available via MCP server and Sinch Skills:
MCP server, allows direct access for AI assistants to live, accurate Sinch API definitions, and by Sinch Skills, which adds structured product knowledge covering configuration and implementation patterns. Together, they provide structured access to information across a range of Sinch services, including Conversation API, Authentication, Voice, Verification, Numbers, Elastic SIP Trunking, Fax and Mailgun.
Simulator Mode permits users to test integrations before actually creating an a Sinch account or using live API calls:
Getting started with a new platform often means creating accounts, configuring credentials and navigating documentation before writing any code, said Kรฅrfors. With Simulator Mode, developers can begin testing integrations directly from their development environment, which lowers the barrier to exploring and evaluating Sinch services before even needing to create an account.
