## About

Twilio Labs' MCP server generates MCP tools from Twilio's OpenAPI specs, so agents can call Twilio APIs such as messaging and phone numbers. It runs locally via npx and authenticates with your Account SID plus an API key and secret passed as an argument. It is published as an alpha package and lets you filter which services are loaded.

## Install

1. **Add the server to Codex**

   Codex CLI:

   ```bash
   codex mcp add twilio -- npx -y @twilio-alpha/mcp YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID/YOUR_API_KEY:YOUR_API_SECRET
   ```

   config.toml:

   ```toml
   [mcp_servers.twilio]
   command = "npx"
   args = ["-y", "@twilio-alpha/mcp", "YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID/YOUR_API_KEY:YOUR_API_SECRET"]
   ```

   Agents SDK:

   ```python
   from agents import Agent, Runner
   from agents.mcp import MCPServerStdio
   
   async with MCPServerStdio(
       name="Twilio",
       params={"command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@twilio-alpha/mcp", "YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID/YOUR_API_KEY:YOUR_API_SECRET"]},
   ) as server:
       agent = Agent(name="Assistant", mcp_servers=[server])
       result = await Runner.run(agent, "Send an SMS to +15551234567 saying the order has shipped")
       print(result.final_output)
   ```

## Example prompts
