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.

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

| 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 |
