Twilio Messaging MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. # Twilio Messaging MCP Server An MCP server for sending SMS messages via Twilio API. This server provides tools, resources, and prompts for interacting with the Twilio Messaging API. ## Features - Send SMS messages via Twilio - Get status.
Once Twilio Messaging is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
send-sms — Send an SMS message via Twilio with server readiness validationTools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverResources — The Resources tool exposed by this serverPrompts — The Prompts tool exposed by this serverYou will need 4 environment variables: NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN, YOUR_API_KEY, YOUR_API_SECRET, YOUR_NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN. 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.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at for 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.
This sits in the team communication group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Twilio Messaging's toolset — send-sms, Tools, Resources and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by deshartman; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
