MCP Server by sv-number

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.

Free start: promo code SVFREE gives one free number per account. Enter it in the promo code field on your profile page (sms-verification-number.com/en/user/profile/), next to the API key, and click Apply. The code works for the first 1000 activations.

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. A new account has no key yet: generate it on the profile page first. The balance has to be funded, apart from the SVFREE start number. The key is read from the environment and never leaves the process, no tool returns it and no error message quotes it.

Tools

Tool	What it does
get_balance	what is left on the account
list_countries	every country with its id and operators
list_services	find the code for a site: search by name or domain, best match first, price, how many are online, and the share of codes that actually arrived
order_number	order a private number for one service in one country
wait_for_code	poll until the code lands and return it, already parsed out of the SMS
finish_activation	close a successful activation
cancel_activation	cancel and get the money back
request_another_sms	ask for one more code on the same number
totp_code	compute the authenticator code locally, by RFC 6238

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.

Config

Variable	Default
SVN_API_KEY	required
SVN_API_BASE	https://sms-verification-number.com/stubs/handler_api
SVN_LANG	en, sets both the language and the currency of the answers
SVN_POLL_SECONDS	4
