# Twilio — AI Connector Twilio publishes 2 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/communication/twilio/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Communication](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/communication/) # Twilio Search Twilio API specs and docs without loading them wholesale Listed in Claude · 2 published tools · Verified partner [Claude connector docs](https://www.twilio.com/docs/ai/mcp) [twilio.com](https://twilio.com) Overview ## What Twilio does Twilio's connector does not operate an account. It searches Twilio's documentation and API surface, stated at more than 1,800 endpoints, across voice, email, SMS and RCS, identity, customer data, contact centre and conversational AI, and returns the specific specs and code patterns a task needs. The point is context economy: fetching the exact parameter schema for one operation rather than pulling whole reference pages into a session. The endpoint answered an unauthenticated tools/list and returned exactly the two tools published. Twilio is the author and the connector carries the partner tier, with documentation available. ### Who it is for Developers writing code against Twilio APIs. ### Tool surface The two tools are \`twilio\_\_search\` and \`twilio\_\_retrieve\`, a find-then-expand pair over documentation and API operations. Neither touches a Twilio account, so this is a reference surface rather than an operational one. Availability ## Where Twilio is listed Twilio is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Twilio has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Twilio publishes 2 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 5.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Communication publishes 11, so this one sits 9 tools below its bucket's median, 27th of 29. It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory. ### Measured against the live endpoint A direct call to the endpoint returned 2 tools, matching the 2 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07. #### Tools the server actually returns - `twilio__retrieve` - `twilio__search` Twilio publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Twilio Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Communication Endpoint `https://mcp.twilio.com/docs` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://www.twilio.com/docs/ai/mcp) Published tools 2 · 1-3 tools band Depth rank in Communication 27 of 29 Snapshot August 2026 Twilio carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server. In the publisher's words ## How Twilio describes it > Search Twilio’s APIs and build customer engagement experiences directly from Claude. Across more than 1,800 endpoints, Twilio MCP surfaces the exact specs and code patterns you need for channels like voice, email, and SMS/RCS, as well as user identity, customer data, contact center, and conversational AI. Get straight to the right API details and implementation guidance without loading full API docs into context or leaving your IDE. Quoted from the connector's own Claude directory listing as captured in August 2026. Node8 did not write it and does not vouch for it.
