About Plivo MCP Server
Grant your AI agent the absolute capacity to bridge code into the global telecommunications network via Plivo. Circumvent visual dashboards entirely. You can instruct your personal LLM (Cursor, Claude) to dispatch real SMS text messages, bridge live VoIP calls across E.164 formats, or pull heavy financial billing limits proactively from the console.
Claude Code registers Plivo as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Plivo data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Live SMS Outbound — Instruct your bot to dynamically dispatch
send_smspayloads mapping precise strings to specific international destination variables without writing boilerplate bindings. - Voice Operations — Push strict XML logic routing into active PSTN grids. Initiate (
make_call), actively trace connection lengths (get_call), or vaporize stuck voice sessions (cancel_call). - Telecom Auditing — Dive into messaging analytics. Query
list_messagesextracting exact 5xx delivery failures, retrieving explicitly why a telecom carrier rejected the frame (get_message). - Inventory & Capacity — Force the agent to interrogate your account for its exact active DID numbers (
list_numbers), map VoIP registration footprints (list_endpoints), and monitor billing funds natively (get_account).
