Summary

Twilio's official documentation MCP server — search the docs and API specs in natural language, then pull the full parameter schema for a specific API operation before writing code against it.

Features

Natural-language search across Twilio docs and API specifications
Full parameter schemas for individual API operations on demand
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint — nothing to install or run locally
Read-only: no account access, no messages sent, no spend

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
Merge the snippet below into it.
Restart the agent — the "Twilio Docs" tools will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twilio-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.twilio.com/docs"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add the server with a single CLI command.

claude mcp add twilio-docs -- npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.twilio.com/docs

Claude Desktop

Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twilio-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.twilio.com/docs"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Or add {"type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.twilio.com/docs"} directly under Cursor Settings > MCP

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "mcp-remote",
    "https://mcp.twilio.com/docs"
  ]
}

Codex CLI

{
  "command": "codex",
  "args": [
    "mcp",
    "add",
    "twilio-docs",
    "--url",
    "https://mcp.twilio.com/docs"
  ]
}

Claude Code, native HTTP transport

{
  "command": "claude",
  "args": [
    "mcp",
    "add",
    "--transport",
    "http",
    "twilio-docs",
    "https://mcp.twilio.com/docs"
  ]
}

Description

Twilio ships two very different MCP servers. This is the read-only one: it searches Twilio's documentation and API specifications so a coding agent can look up how something actually works instead of recalling it from training data. It does not touch your account, send anything, or spend money.

Tools

`twilio__search` — search Twilio docs and API operations by natural-language query.
`twilio__retrieve` — fetch the full parameter schema for a specific API operation.

That pairing is the point. Search finds the right operation; retrieve returns its exact parameters, so the generated request matches the current API rather than a plausible-looking one.

Connecting

The server is remote and needs nothing installed: point any Streamable-HTTP-capable client at https://mcp.twilio.com/docs. Codex users can run codex mcp add twilio-docs --url https://mcp.twilio.com/docs; Cursor takes an {"type": "http", "url": "..."} entry under MCP settings.

Pairs with

Twilio publishes a companion set of Agent Skills in the same twilio/ai repository, covering setup, product selection, implementation and compliance guardrails. The MCP server gives an agent the reference material; the skills give it the procedural judgement about which Twilio product to reach for.

Note that this is distinct from the Twilio Labs MCP server (@twilio-alpha/mcp), which exposes the live Twilio API and can send messages and place calls. If you want documentation lookup without granting account access, this is the one you want.

Status

Public Beta. Twilio states that Public Beta products are not covered by the Twilio Support Terms or the Twilio Service Level Agreement, and that the surface may change before general availability.
