- Full activation lifecycle — from ordering a number to receiving SMS
- ETag-cached catalog — countries and services are cached in-memory with 5-minute TTL and ETag-based conditional refresh — never sent to the agent
- Human-friendly inputs — use "Israel" or "Telegram" instead of IDs; names are auto-resolved server-side

Installation
Ajoutez ceci à la configuration MCP de votre client (Claude Desktop : claude_desktop_config.json ; Cursor : .cursor/mcp.json ; VS Code et les autres utilisent la même forme « mcpServers »).
claude mcp add --transport http platfone 'https://mcp.platfone.com/mcp'

Sommaire
Platfone MCP Server
Platfone provides virtual phone numbers for account verification, testing, and automation workflows. The Platfone MCP server enables AI agents to obtain temporary numbers and receive SMS messages from MCP-compatible clients like Claude, VS Code Copilot, Codex, etc.

Why MCP?
Instead of manually integrating the API, AI agents can:
- Order numbers autonomously by country and service name
- Wait for SMS codes
- Retry or cancel activations
All via structured tool calls — no custom backend required.
Features
- Full activation lifecycle — from ordering a number to receiving SMS
- ETag-cached catalog — countries and services are cached in-memory with 5-minute TTL and ETag-based conditional refresh — never sent to the agent
- Human-friendly inputs — use "Israel" or "Telegram" instead of IDs; names are auto-resolved server-side
- Dual transport —

Installation
See the full Installation Guide for detailed instructions.
Quick Start
NPM:
PLATFONE_API_KEY=your_key npx @platfone/mcp
Agent Guidelines
- Always call
check_pricefirst to verify cost and availability - Then call
order_numberto rent a number - Call
check_smsuntil SMS is received or expired - Use
retry_activationif no SMS arrives - Use
cancel_activationto release funds if no longer needed
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_balance | Check account balance: total, reserved, and available funds. |
check_price | Check pricing and availability for a country + service pair before ordering. |
order_number | Order a virtual phone number. Accepts names ("Israel") or IDs ("il"). Returns activation_id + phone. |
check_sms | Poll activation state. Returns SMS code when received, or current status with polling instructions. |
retry_activation | Request another SMS on the same number. Free of charge. |
cancel_activation | Cancel an active activation before SMS is received. Refunds reserved amount. |
Note: Country and service catalogs are cached server-side and auto-resolved from human-readable names. The agent never receives the full catalog — only resolved IDs or disambiguation hints.
Typical AI Agent Flow
1. check_price (country: "Israel", service: "Telegram") → verify cost & availability
2. order_number (country: "Israel", service: "Telegram") → returns activation_id + phone
3. check_sms (activation_id) → poll or check once for SMS
Optional steps:
retry_activation— request another SMS on the same number (free)cancel_activation— cancel before SMS arrives (refunds balance)
