Twilio MCP server

The MCP server exposes two tools that work together in a search-then-retrieve workflow:

This two-step design intentionally keeps context usage efficient by only fetching full detail for the operations your agent actually needs.

The MCP server indexes the following content:

• All publicly available Twilio OpenAPI spec including newest product APIs including Conversation Memory, Conversation Orchestrator, Conversational Intelligence, and Twilio Agent Connect
• Twilio Docs and Support articles
• SendGrid Docs and Support articles
• Segment Docs

• No authentication required: The MCP server indexes public API specifications only. No Twilio account or API keys needed.
• No installation required: The server is hosted by Twilio at mcp.twilio.com/docs—point your IDE at the URL.

• Read-only: The server provides API search and documentation retrieval. It does not execute API calls on your behalf.
• Public specs only: The server indexes publicly available API specifications. The server includes only APIs in public OpenAPI specs.
• Model-dependent quality: Search result quality and how well your agent uses the results depends on the AI model powering your coding agent.
• Versioning: When multiple API versions exist (for example, v2010, v1, v2), search returns the latest version by default. You can filter by specific versions using the filter.version parameter. For example, Programmable Messaging has both v2010 (legacy) and v1 (current) versions—search will return v1 results unless you explicitly filter for v2010.

Future releases will include:

• Execute-ready, OAuth-authenticated MCP tools that let agents call Twilio APIs directly
• Twilio Skills: structured procedural knowledge packages that teach agents which APIs to use, in what order, and what pitfalls to avoid
• Expanded documentation coverage

Connect your AI coding agent to the Twilio MCP server. No Twilio account or authentication is required.

• A supported AI coding agent installed
• Network access to mcp.twilio.com/docs

The Twilio MCP server is available as a Claude Connector. To install, search for "Twilio" in the connectors directory within Claude (web, desktop, or mobile app). The connector provides MCP server access across all Claude platforms.

To add the Twilio MCP server to Claude Code via CLI:

claude mcp add --transport http twilio-docs https://mcp.twilio.com/docs

To configure OpenCode CLI to use the Twilio MCP server, add the following to your ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json file:

1
{
2
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
3
  "mcp": {
4
    "twilio-docs": {
5
      "type": "remote",
6
      "url": "https://mcp.twilio.com/docs",
7
      "enabled": true,
8
      "oauth": false
9
    }
10
  }
11
}

For project-scoped configuration, add the same block to an opencode.json in your project root.

The Twilio MCP server is available in the Cursor marketplace. To install, open Composer (Command+I or Control+I) and run:

/add-plugin twilio-developer-kit

Alternatively, manually add the following to your Cursor MCP configuration in Cursor Settings > MCP Servers:

1
{
2
  "mcpServers": {
3
    "twilio-docs": {
4
      "url": "https://mcp.twilio.com/docs"
5
    }
6
  }
7
}

To add the Twilio MCP server to Codex:

codex mcp add twilio-docs --url https://mcp.twilio.com/docs

The Twilio MCP server is available as a Figma Make Connector. Search for "Twilio" in the Figma Make connector directory.

Replit support for the Twilio MCP server is planned for a future release.

To verify your connection, complete the following steps:

1. Confirm the MCP server appears in your IDE's MCP configuration.
2. Ask your coding agent a Twilio question, for example, "How do I send an SMS with Twilio?"
3. Verify the response references specific Twilio API endpoints and invokes the twilio__search tool.

The MCP server indexes APIs across all Twilio products, including:

Programmable Messaging, Programmable Voice, Verify, Twilio Conversations, Twilio Video, Flex, Twilio Serverless, Studio, Sync, TaskRouter, Elastic SIP Trunking, Content, Events, Monitor, Twilio Frontline, Lookup, Notify, Proxy, Super SIM, Wireless, Trust Hub, Marketplace, Conversation Intelligence, Conversation Memory, Conversation Orchestrator, Twilio Agent Connect (TAC)
