Twilio Manager

Twilio 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

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/twilio_manager_mcp.git
cd twilio_manager_mcp
  1. Install dependencies using uv:
uv sync

Configuration

  1. Create a .env file in the root directory with your Twilio credentials:
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=your_account_sid
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=your_auth_token
  1. Configure MCP for your tool (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.) by creating a .cursor/mcp.json file:
{
  "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
  1. Configure environment variables in your .env file:
# Twilio credentials
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=your_account_sid
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=your_auth_token

# Domain configuration for Traefik
DOMAIN_NAME=yourdomain.com
ACME_EMAIL=user@yourdomain.com

# Address details (optional)
ADDRESS_CUSTOMER_NAME=
ADDRESS_FRIENDLY_NAME=
ADDRESS_STREET=
ADDRESS_CITY=
ADDRESS_REGION=
ADDRESS_POSTAL_CODE=
ADDRESS_ISO_COUNTRY=
  1. 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:

  1. Build the Docker image:
docker build -t twilio-manager-mcp .
  1. 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:

  1. Direct UVX Integration (Recommended):

    • Use the twilio_manager_mcp_uvx configuration
    • This is the simplest method and works out of the box with uvx
  2. Direct UV Integration:

    • Use the twilio_manager_mcp_abs configuration
    • Requires specifying the full path to your installation
  3. SSE Server:

    • Use the twilio_manager_mcp_sse configuration
    • Start the SSE server first:
      uvicorn twilio_manager_mcp_sse:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
      

Available Tools

Tool NameDescription
list_twilio_subaccountsList all Twilio subaccounts
get_account_phone_numbersGet phone numbers for a specific subaccount
get_all_phone_numbersTransfer phone numbers between subaccounts
get_regulatory_bundle_sidGet 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:

  1. 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"
  1. 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..."})

Development

For development, you can use uv's virtual environment management:

# Create a virtual environment
uv venv

# Activate the virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Unix
.venv\Scripts\activate     # On Windows

# Install dependencies in development mode
uv pip install -e .
