What is the Twilio SMS Sender MCP Server?
We refused to build a bloated communication suite that tries to manage Twilio Voice, Video, and complex routing studio flows. Instead, this MCP server provides a surgical, zero-trust bridge: just sending SMS text messages.
Your AI agent gains the immediate, zero-friction ability to drop critical 'wake-up' alerts or customer notifications straight to any mobile phone via SMS, bypassing internet-dependent chat apps.
The Superpowers
- Out-of-Band Delivery: When Slack is down or internet is spotty, SMS gets through. If you provide the Twilio credentials, your AI can text directly to cell phones.
- Zero-Bloat Integration: No massive SDKs or complex webhook handlers needed. Just an Account SID, Auth Token, and a 'From' number.
- Absolute Containment: Because this is strictly a sending tool, the agent cannot read your incoming messages, cannot answer phone calls, and cannot alter your Twilio account settings. It is the purest, safest way to give your AI SMS superpowers.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Provide the destination phone number in E.164 format (e.g., +1234567890) in the "to" parameter, and the text in the "body" parameter. Send an SMS text message to a mobile phone number using Twilio

Frequently asked questions
Can the agent read incoming SMS replies with this?
No. This MCP utilizes the REST API strictly for creating new messages. It does not configure or expose incoming webhooks, meaning it acts strictly as a one-way notification megaphone. It cannot see your replies.
Do I need a paid Twilio account?
You can use a Twilio Trial account, but trial accounts can only send SMS to pre-verified phone numbers. To send SMS to any number, you must upgrade your Twilio account.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
