botcall-mcp

An MCP server that gives AI agents real phone numbers. Provision a number, receive SMS, and extract verification codes — all through tool calls.

Built for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible client.

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "botcall": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "botcall-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BOTCALL_API_KEY": "bs_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add botcall -- npx -y botcall-mcp

Then set your API key in the environment:

export BOTCALL_API_KEY="bs_live_..."

Other MCP clients

Any client that supports the MCP stdio transport works. Run npx botcall-mcp with BOTCALL_API_KEY set.
