compatibility
Node.js >=18. Runs over stdio via `npx -y sv-number-mcp`; no build step for consumers. Requires a funded `SVN_API_KEY` from sms-verification-number.com — there is no free tier. MIT license; the underlying SMS service is a commercial, paid API.
SV Number is a stdio MCP server that turns phone numbers into tools: an 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, no SDK to learn, 200+ countries of
coverage. It is not a messaging or calling product — receiving one verification code per
activation is the whole job.
When to use this skill
A signup or account-creation flow demands a real phone number to receive an SMS/OTP code
Picking the right country id and service code before ordering a number
(list_countries, list_services)
Ordering a number, waiting for the code, and closing out the activation
(order_number, wait_for_code, finish_activation, cancel_activation)
Requesting a second SMS on the same number for a resend/password reset
(request_another_sms)
Checking remaining account balance before ordering (get_balance)
Computing a TOTP/2FA code locally from an already-known Base32 secret (totp_code)
Wiring this MCP server into Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, or Cursor
When not to use this skill
The user needs a persistent number for real conversations, calls, banking, payment, or
government accounts — these numbers are exclusive to one activation and expire in 20
minutes; point them at a carrier product instead
No SVN_API_KEY is configured and funding one is out of scope for the task — say so
rather than guessing a key
The task is about sending or receiving arbitrary SMS/voice traffic, not a one-time
verification code — out of scope for this server
A general MCP client setup question unrelated to SV Number specifically → use a generic
MCP-configuration skill instead
Instructions
Step 1: Confirm the environment before ordering anything
SVN_API_KEY comes from the user's profile page
after signup, and the balance must be
funded — there is no free tier. Never print or echo the key itself; the server reads it from
the environment and no tool or error message ever returns it.
Step 2: Register the server with the MCP client
Claude Code:
claude mcp add sv-number --env SVN_API_KEY=your_key_here -- npx -y sv-number-mcp
Any JSON-config client (Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop) — see
references/setup.md for the full snippet and env var table.
Step 3: Check balance, then find the country and service
get_balance() -> current funded balance
list_countries(search?) -> id + operators per country
list_services(country, search?) -> matches ranked best-first, notInList fallback
Service codes are arbitrary strings, never guess them from memory — uk is Airbnb, re is
Coinbase, tn is LinkedIn. Always resolve the code via list_services first. When
deliveredPercent is non-null, prefer the pair with the higher rate; when it is null
(the common case), prefer the pair with more numbers online. If nothing in the catalogue
matches the target site, order the ot ("Not on list") fallback service, not a guessed code.
Trigger the target service's "send code" action only after order_number returns the phone
number — wait_for_code polls getStatus on a sane interval and stops at the number's
20-minute lifetime on its own; do not build a manual polling loop around it.
Step 5: Close out the activation
finish_activation(activationId) -> after the code was used successfully
cancel_activation(activationId) -> no code arrived; money returns to balance
request_another_sms(activationId) -> ask for a resend, only after a first code arrived
Always call finish_activation on success or cancel_activation on failure — a forgotten
activation holds money until it naturally expires after 20 minutes.
Step 6: Compute a TOTP code when the account already has 2FA configured
This tool never calls the network; the shared secret stays on the local machine. Use it only
when the user already has a Base32 secret from an authenticator setup, not as a substitute
for order_number/wait_for_code.
Best practices
Resolve service codes through list_services, never from memory — the two-letter
codes are arbitrary and easy to confuse (uk is not the United Kingdom).
Pick by deliveredPercent when it exists, by online count when it does not — a
null deliverability is the common case, not a red flag.
Always close the loop — finish_activation on success, cancel_activation on
failure, so money is not tied up until the 20-minute expiry.
Treat the API key as write-only — read it from the environment, never log it, never
echo it back to the user, and never fund/rotate it without explicit confirmation.
Do not build a manual polling loop — wait_for_code already polls at a sane interval
and respects the 20-minute activation life; wrapping it in another retry loop just wastes
calls.
These are single-activation numbers, not persistent lines — route requests for a
real, ongoing phone number to a carrier product instead of trying to reuse an activation.
