}Twilio Messaging MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables sending SMS messages via the Twilio API.
Features
- Send SMS messages via Twilio
- Integrates with MCP clients like Claude Desktop
- Secure credential handling without environment variables
- Uses Twilio API Keys for improved security
Installation
You can use this server directly via npx:
npx twilio-messaging-mcp-server <accountSid> <apiKey> <apiSecret> <number>
Or install it globally:
npm install -g twilio-messaging-mcp-server
twilio-messaging-mcp-server <accountSid> <apiKey> <apiSecret> <number>
Configuration
The server requires the following parameters:
- accountSid: Your Twilio Account SID (must start with 'AC', will be validated)
- apiKey: Your Twilio API Key (starts with 'SK')
- apiSecret: Your Twilio API Secret
- number: The Twilio phone number to send messages from (in E.164 format, e.g., +1234567890)
Security Note
This server uses API Keys and Secrets instead of Auth Tokens for improved security. This approach provides better access control and the ability to revoke credentials if needed. For more information, see the Twilio API Keys documentation.
Usage with Claude Desktop
Local Development
For local development (when the package is not published to npm), add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"twilio-messaging": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/PATHTONODE/twilio-messaging-mcp-server/build/index.js",
"your_account_sid_here",
"your_api_key_here",
"your_api_secret_here",
"+1234567890"
]
}
}
}
Replace the values with your actual Twilio credentials:
- First argument: Your Twilio Account SID (starts with "AC")
- Second argument: Your Twilio API Key (starts with "SK")
- Third argument: Your Twilio API Secret
- Fourth argument: Your Twilio phone number in E.164 format
You can get the absolute path by running the following command in your project directory:
