Things to check

Requires an active Twilio account with valid credentials and balance; you remain liable for compliance (TCPA, carrier rules) and message costs. Twilio advises against running community MCP servers alongside its official one to reduce injection/data-access risk, and recommends loading only needed APIs via --services/--tags because the full API surface can exceed context limits.
