About Twilio_manager_mcp
Twilio Manager MCP lets teams manage Twilio subaccounts, phone numbers, and regulatory bundle identifiers through MCP tools. It supports direct and SSE connections for use with MCP-compatible clients.
Key features
- 01List Twilio subaccounts
- 02View numbers by subaccount
- 03Transfer numbers between subaccounts
- 04Retrieve regulatory bundle SIDs
- 05Direct and SSE communication
Use cases
- 01Review Twilio subaccounts
- 02Find a subaccount’s phone numbers
- 03Move numbers between subaccounts
- 04Retrieve a regulatory bundle SID
MCP support
Exposes Twilio account-management tools to MCP clients, including tools for subaccounts, phone numbers, and regulatory bundle SIDs. Supports direct and SSE communication.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMETwilio Manager MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation for managing Twilio resources. This package provides tools for managing Twilio subaccounts, phone numbers, and regulatory bundles through a standardized MCP interface.
Features
- List Twilio subaccounts
- Get phone numbers associated with subaccounts
- Transfer phone numbers between subaccounts
- Get regulatory bundle SIDs
- Support for both direct and Server-Sent Events (SSE) communication
- Integration with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools
Installation
Prerequisites
Install uv
On macOS:
brew install uv
On Windows:
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
On Linux:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Project Setup
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/twilio_manager_mcp.git
cd twilio_manager_mcp
- Install dependencies using uv:
uv sync
Configuration
- Create a
.envfile in the root directory with your Twilio credentials:
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=your_account_sid
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=your_auth_token
- Configure MCP for your tool (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) by creating a
.cursor/mcp.jsonfile:
{
"mcpServers": {
"twilio_manager_mcp_abs": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "/path/to/twilio_manager_mcp", "run", "mcp", "run", "./twilio_manager_mcp.py"],
"env": {
"TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID": "your_account_sid",
"TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN": "your_auth_token"
}
},
"twilio_manager_mcp_uvx": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [ "twilio-manager-mcp" ],
"env": {
"TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID": "your_account_sid",
"TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN": "your_auth_token"
}
},
"twilio_manager_mcp_sse": {
"url": "http://localhost:8000/sse"
}
}
}
Docker
You can run Twilio Manager MCP using Docker for easier deployment and management.
Using Docker Compose
The project includes a Docker Compose configuration that sets up:
- The Twilio Manager MCP service
- A Traefik reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS
- Configure environment variables in your
.envfile:
# Twilio credentials
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=your_account_sid
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=your_auth_token
# Domain configuration for Traefik
DOMAIN_NAME=yourdomain.com
[email protected]
# Address details (optional)
ADDRESS_CUSTOMER_NAME=
ADDRESS_FRIENDLY_NAME=
ADDRESS_STREET=
ADDRESS_CITY=
ADDRESS_REGION=
ADDRESS_POSTAL_CODE=
ADDRESS_ISO_COUNTRY=
- Start the services:
docker-compose up -d
The application will be available at your configured domain with HTTPS enabled.
Using Docker Without Docker Compose
If you prefer to run just the Twilio Manager MCP container without Traefik:
- Build the Docker image:
docker build -t twilio-manager-mcp .
- Run the container:
docker run -p 8000:8000 \
-e TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=your_account_sid \
-e TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=your_auth_token \
twilio-manager-mcp
The SSE endpoint will be available at http://localhost:8000/sse.
Usage
With Cursor, Claude Desktop, or other MCP-compatible tools
You have three options to use this MCP:
-
Direct UVX Integration (Recommended):
- Use the
twilio_manager_mcp_uvxconfiguration - This is the simplest method and works out of the box with uvx
- Use the
-
Direct UV Integration:
- Use the
twilio_manager_mcp_absconfiguration - Requires specifying the full path to your installation
- Use the
-
SSE Server:
- Use the
twilio_manager_mcp_sseconfiguration - Start the SSE server first:
uvicorn twilio_manager_mcp_sse:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
- Use the
Available Tools
| Tool Name | Description |
|---|---|
list_twilio_subaccounts | List all Twilio subaccounts |
get_account_phone_numbers | Get phone numbers for a specific subaccount |
get_all_phone_numbers | Transfer phone numbers between subaccounts |
get_regulatory_bundle_sid | Get regulatory bundle SID for a subaccount |
Example Usage in Cursor/Claude Desktop
Once configured, you can use the tools directly in your AI assistant conversations:
- List all subaccounts:
# The AI will automatically use the MCP to list all subaccounts
# No need to write code - just ask "List all Twilio subaccounts"
- Get phone numbers for a subaccount:
# Simply ask: "Show me all phone numbers for subaccount AC..."
Direct Python Usage
For direct programmatic usage:
from mcp import ClientSession
from clients.client import MCPClient
async with MCPClient("uvx", ["twilio-manager-mcp"], env={}) as session:
# List available tools
tools = (await session.list_tools()).tools
# List all subaccounts
subaccounts = await session.invoke("list_twilio_subaccounts")
# Get phone numbers for a subaccount
numbers = await session.invoke("get_account_phone_numbers", {"account_sid": "AC..."})

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
