Twilio MCP: Control SMS, Voice, and Chat from Your AI Workflows

Twilio released an official MCP server that lets AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf control SMS, voice, and WhatsApp communications through natural language. The server handles credential management securely, enabling developers to send notifications, trigger calls, and query logs directly from AI workflows without manual API calls.

Install guide and config at curatedmcp.com The official Twilio MCP server bridges the gap between AI agents and real-world communications. Instead of manually calling Twilio APIs, you can now ask Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf to send SMS notifications, trigger voice calls, or manage WhatsApp conversations—all through natural language. Your AI agent handles the complexity; you keep the credentials secure. Twilio MCP gives AI agents direct access to Twilio's programmable communications platform. You can send and receive SMS, MMS, and WhatsApp messages; place and manage voice calls; access chat logs and delivery status; and even query usage and billing metrics—all without leaving your AI interface. The server handles credential management securely, so your API keys stay in your environment. That means you can build workflows where Claude drafts a customer notification and sends it via SMS in one step. Or use Cursor to debug a messaging service while your AI agent simultaneously pulls delivery logs to investigate failures. Key capabilities include: This is particularly powerful for notification systems, OTP flows, and customer outreach—scenarios where latency matters and manual API calls slow you down.
