Give your AI agent a real phone number for SMS verification codes.
Give your AI agent a real phone number for SMS verification codes. The botcall mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 6 defined tools rather than through you.
An MCP server that gives AI agents real phone numbers. Provision a number, receive SMS, and extract verification codes — all through tool calls.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at botcall-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
provision_number — The provision_number tool exposed by this serverget_code — Wait for an incoming SMS and extract the verification code. Long-polls until a message arrives or the timeout expiresget_inbox — The get_inbox tool exposed by this serverlist_numbers — The list_numbers tool exposed by this serverrelease_number — The release_number tool exposed by this serverget_usage — Get your current plan, limits, and usage stats. No parametersYou will need 2 environment variables: BOTCALL_API_KEY, BOTCALL_API_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Botcall's toolset — provision_number, get_code, get_inbox and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by danecodes; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
