sv-number/mcp-server exposes nine stdio tools so an agent can rent a private number in the country a service expects, read the SMS verification code, and close the activation, with totp_code computed locally per RFC 6238. No free tier. Flagging it as dual-use: automated phone verification is exactly the primitive account-farming abuse needs, and it's a single vendor's claim with no independent corroboration.
