SV Number MCP server
Phone numbers as tools. Your agent orders a private number in the country a service expects, reads the SMS verification code straight from the API, and hands the number back. Nine tools over stdio, no SDK to learn.
200+ countries, the widest coverage in this category. Every other claim on this page is
checkable too, but this one takes a single call: run list_countries and count the rows.
order_number(service="tg", country=6) -> +62 838 1234 5678
wait_for_code(activationId) -> 123456
finish_activation(activationId) -> done
Install
Claude Code:
claude mcp add sv-number --env SVN_API_KEY=your_key_here -- npx -y sv-number-mcp
Anything that reads a JSON config (Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop):
{
"mcpServers": {
"sv-number": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "sv-number-mcp"],
"env": { "SVN_API_KEY": "your_key_here" }
}
}
}
The key comes from your profile after signup. The balance has to be funded: there is no free tier on this API. The key is read from the environment and never leaves the process, no tool returns it and no error message quotes it.
Tools
list_services answers with matches ranked best first plus notInList, the fallback
service. It takes a site name or a URL, so discord.com finds Discord, and it ranks a
whole word above a substring so x puts X.com (Twitter) above Maxim. Codes are
arbitrary and must never be recalled from memory: uk is Airbnb, re is Coinbase, tn is
LinkedIn. When nothing matches, the answer says so and points at another country, because
the catalogue is not the same everywhere, and at ot ("Not on list"), which receives SMS
from any sender that is not in the list. A site that has its own code sends to that code,
so ot is a fallback and not a wildcard.
deliveredPercent is the delivery rate for that service and country, and null when the
pair has no statistics yet, which is the common case. Where there is a number, pick by it
instead of by price; where there is not, online shows how big the live pool is, which is
the next best signal.
What the server handles for you
Every call carries lang. The API answers without it, but then it prices in another
currency, so the server never leaves it out. Text markers that the API returns
instead of JSON are checked before anything is parsed, and turned into a sentence an agent
can act on: NO_NUMBERS becomes "change country, or set operator to any" rather than a
bare token. Polling runs at a sane interval instead of hammering getStatus, and
wait_for_code stops at the 20 minute life of a number.
What it is not
Receiving verification codes is the whole job. These numbers do not send SMS, do not take calls, and are not meant for banking, payment or government accounts. An agent that needs a permanent number to hold a conversation wants a carrier product instead.
