Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Twilio every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

twilio

twilio__retrieve

Fetch full parameter schemas and response details for one or more Twilio API operations or documentation articles. Use this after twilio__search to get the complete request body fields, path/query parameters, response schema, and curator guidance needed to actually call the API. Pass the id values exactly as returned by twilio__search.

twilio__search

Search Twilio documentation and API operations by natural language query. Use source="docs" for conceptual guides and setup questions, source="api" for finding specific API endpoints and operations, or source="all" (default) when unsure. Returns ranked documentation snippets and/or API operation summaries. Use twilio__retrieve with an id from API results to get full parameter schemas.

Twilio — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Twilio do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: twilio__retrieve, twilio__search. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Twilio working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 322 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect 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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Twilio need an API key?

No. Twilio completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Twilio?

It answers our handshake in 322 ms on average, which is faster than 43% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
