Connects Claude to JoltSMS for provisioning real SIM US phone numbers and handling SMS verification flows. Exposes tools to rent numbers by area code ($50/month), poll for incoming messages, extract OTP codes, and manage billing subscriptions. The core workflow is automated verification: provision a number, tag it with a service name like "PayPal", wait for SMS using `joltsms_wait_for_sms` with configurable timeout, grab the parsed OTP code, then mark messages read. Useful when you need agents to complete phone verification steps autonomously without manual SMS forwarding. First number must be ordered through the dashboard for payment verification, then the MCP handles everything programmatically.
MCP server for JoltSMS — provision dedicated real-SIM US phone numbers and receive SMS/OTP codes through AI agents.
Built on the Model Context Protocol, this server gives AI agents (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) the ability to rent phone numbers, wait for incoming SMS, extract OTP codes, and manage billing — all through standardized tool calls.
Create a JoltSMS account and generate an API key at Dashboard → Settings → API Keys.
Add to your .mcp.json (Claude Code) or MCP settings (Claude Desktop, Cursor):
{
"mcpServers": {
"joltsms": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@joltsms/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"JOLTSMS_API_KEY": "jolt_sk_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}

The most common use case — automated phone verification:
1. joltsms_provision_number({ area_code: "650" })
→ Number provisioning started! Phone: +16505551234
2. joltsms_update_number({ number_id: "+16505551234", service_name: "PayPal" })
→ Tagged for easy lookup later
3. [Agent enters phone number on PayPal and requests OTP]
4. joltsms_wait_for_sms({ number_id: "+16505551234", timeout_seconds: 120 })
→ SMS received after 8.2s: "Your PayPal code is 847291"
→ OTP Code: 847291
5. joltsms_mark_read({ number_id: "+16505551234" })
→ Inbox clean
6. [Agent enters 847291 on PayPal — verification complete]
