Telnyx MCP

Send SMS, place calls and manage phone numbers through the Telnyx API from Claude.

Officialby TelnyxHosted or on your computerChecked October 18, 2026

Telnyx's hosted MCP server lets Claude discover and call any Telnyx API endpoint, which covers messaging, voice calls, phone numbers, verification and AI assistants. Claude looks up an endpoint, reads its schema and then invokes it, and Telnyx also ships small MCP apps for number lookups, usage costs and voice monitoring.

Who it is for

  • Developers building SMS and voice features
  • Telecom and ops teams managing numbers and usage
  • Startups prototyping phone or text bots

Prompts to try

Once it is connected, ask in plain words. Claude decides when to use the server and asks before it changes anything important.

Prompt 1
List my Telnyx phone numbers and show which ones have messaging enabled.
Prompt 2
Send a test SMS from my main Telnyx number to +15555550123 saying the deploy finished.
Prompt 3
Show this month's usage and cost broken down by product.

How we checked it

Checked Telnyx's remote MCP docs and server card, the team-telnyx/ai repo (MIT, last commit 2026-10-05) and the telnyx-mcp npm package (7.26.0, 2026-10-14); the hosted endpoint lists its tools publicly and tool calls need a Telnyx API key or OAuth token.
