What Sv number MCP does

Topics declared by the repository: ai-agents, claude-code, otp, phone-verification, sms, typescript.
Installing and connecting Sv number MCP
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx)
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: JavaScript.
The registry lists one secret variable to provide (API key, access token). Keep them in the client's environment variables, never in a shared file or a repository.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
Points found for Sv number MCP:
- Secrets: the server acts with your credentials. Create a dedicated key with minimum rights and an expiry date.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
