mcp-twilio

Twilio MCP Pack — send SMS, list messages, make calls via Twilio REST API.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1684+ live data sources.

Tools

ToolDescription
twilio_send_smsSend an SMS message via Twilio. Returns the message SID and status.
twilio_list_messagesList recent SMS/MMS messages from your Twilio account. Supports filtering by to/from number and pagination.
twilio_get_messageGet details of a specific Twilio message by its SID.
twilio_list_callsList recent phone calls from your Twilio account. Returns call SID, status, duration, and direction.
twilio_make_callInitiate a phone call via Twilio. Requires a TwiML URL or application SID to control call behavior.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twilio": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/twilio/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/twilio/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1684+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

This pack takes your own API key (_authToken) — we don't front one for it, so there's no curl here that would run without it. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/twilio_send_sms. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twilio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-twilio"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-twilio

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Twilio data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

How do I install Twilio?

It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http twilio 'https://gateway.pipeworx.io/twilio/mcp'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.

Does Twilio need an API key?

Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.
