Put your own values in place of <TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID> (Twilio Account SID (starts with AC...). Used as username for HTTP Basic auth), <TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN> (Twilio Auth Token. Used as password for HTTP Basic auth). The author’s registry entry marks them as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: TWILIO_MESSAGING_SERVICE_SID (Optional default Messaging Service SID (starts with MG...) used for send_message when From is omitted).

MCP Twilio — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Twilio?
MCP Twilio runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @codespar/mcp-twilio was installed 53 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Twilio?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @codespar/mcp-twilio straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Twilio?
The npm package @codespar/mcp-twilio was installed 53 times in the last week. Week over week that is +231%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Twilio open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 277 stars on GitHub and 14 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
