Quick links: Quickstart · Why VirtualSMS · What you can build · Tools · Questions · Examples · Changelog · Security policy · Status
VirtualSMS is an account verification platform for developers and AI agents. It combines one-time SMS verification, dedicated number rentals, matching-country proxies and private cloud browser sessions behind one API, one MCP server and one prepaid balance.
Infrastructure for AI agents that need real-world phone verification.
The numbers are carrier-issued mobile numbers, backed by real physical SIM cards on carrier networks, not VoIP, which is why they pass the line-type checks that reject VoIP numbers at signup.
From one prepaid balance you can:
- receive one-time SMS codes from $0.05
- rent dedicated numbers from 1 to 30 days
- buy matching-country residential, mobile and datacenter proxies
- launch private cloud browser sessions that work alongside your number and proxy (beta)
All four work together from one prepaid balance, one API and one dashboard. Use only the pieces you need, or combine them into a single verification workflow.
Most providers solve one piece of the verification workflow. VirtualSMS combines numbers, rentals, proxies and cloud browser sessions behind one API, SDKs and an MCP server, so you use only the pieces you need or combine them into one workflow.
VirtualSMS can be used by individuals manually, integrated into applications with SDKs and APIs, or driven by AI agents through MCP. Use the platform through a REST API, official SDKs for Node, Python, PHP, Ruby and .NET, a hosted MCP server, or automation tools like n8n.
This server exposes that platform to any MCP client. Built for AI agents. Designed for agentic workflows. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and every MCP-compatible client, with no wrapper code to write.
Quickstart
Paste this into your MCP client's config. Nothing to install, no Node.js required on the client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"virtualsms": {
"type": "streamableHttp",
"url": "https://mcp.virtualsms.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"x-api-key": "vsms_your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}Get an API key at virtualsms.io. Then ask your agent:
"Buy me a Telegram number in the cheapest country and wait for the code."
Prefer to run it locally over stdio instead:

Verifying an account should not mean stitching together numbers from one provider, proxies from another, and browser sessions from a third: multiple accounts, multiple balances and APIs, and support spread across vendors. VirtualSMS brings those pieces together behind one balance, one API and one MCP server.
VirtualSMS combines all three under one account, and gives you one way to drive them:
