Common questions

Is MCP Twilio safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (0.2.2) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

@codespar/mcp-twilio

MCP server for Twilio — the global standard for programmable messaging and voice.

SMS, WhatsApp, and Voice across 180+ countries. Verify (2FA) and Lookup (phone validation) included. Fills the global messaging gap in a catalog otherwise tilted to Brazil-specific providers (Z-API, Take Blip, Zenvia, Evolution API).

Install

npm install @codespar/mcp-twilio

Environment

TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID="AC..."             # required

TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN="..." # required (secret) TWILIO_MESSAGING_SERVICE_SID="MG..." # optional; default sender for send_message

Authentication

HTTP Basic auth with AccountSid:AuthToken. The server handles this automatically — you only configure the env vars.

Authorization: Basic <base64(AccountSid:AuthToken)>

API surface

Main Accounts API: https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid} — Messages, Calls, IncomingPhoneNumbers
Verify API: https://verify.twilio.com/v2 — 2FA flows (requires a Verify Service SID passed per call)
Lookups API: https://lookups.twilio.com/v2 — phone number validation / carrier / line type

Request bodies are application/x-www-form-urlencoded; responses are JSON (endpoints use the .json suffix on the Accounts API).

Use the same send_message tool, but prefix numbers with whatsapp::

{ "To": "whatsapp:+5511999999999", "From": "whatsapp:+14155238886", "Body": "Olá" }

Sandbox numbers or approved WhatsApp-enabled senders work the same way.
