Twilio MCP: Documentation

Updated:

Connection

Repo: github.com/twilio-labs/mcp (108★, official Twilio Labs). Install: npx -y @twilio-alpha/mcp (stdio). Auth: TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID + TWILIO_API_KEY/TWILIO_API_SECRET (Console → Account → API keys & tokens) — a dedicated API Key is recommended over the account's main auth token.

Tools

Tools are generated from Twilio's OpenAPI schemas across 1,400+ endpoints: messaging (SMS/WhatsApp — messages_create, messages_list), voice (calls, conferences, IVR), phone number verification (Verify API — create and check a code), phone numbers, billing and account settings. You can narrow the set with a --services flag at startup (e.g. Messaging and Verify only).

Agent flow

"Send a verification SMS via Verify to this number", "message the customer on WhatsApp with the tracking link", "call and play a voice message through an IVR flow".

Pricing

Twilio is pay-as-you-go: SMS from fractions of a cent per message, calls billed by destination, Verify billed per successful check. The MCP server itself is free — you pay for Twilio API usage.

Note

An official Twilio Labs project, but proof-of-concept status — the tool interface may change between versions; test before relying on it for critical production flows.
