# Search Plivo Numbers

> Use the search_plivo_numbers MCP tool on the DialNexa remote MCP server.

<span data-api-safety-label="read-only"><Badge color="gray" size="sm" shape="pill">Read only</Badge></span>

Searches Plivo for phone numbers available to purchase in a given country. Use type to filter local/tollfree/mobile and region for city/state. This searches a provider catalog, not the org's owned numbers — use list\_organization\_phone\_numbers for those.

## Parameters

| Name          | Type     | Required | Description                                                               |
| ------------- | -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `country_iso` | `string` | Yes      | ISO country code, e.g. IN, US, GB                                         |
| `type`        | `string` | No       | Number type: local, tollfree, or mobile. Defaults to tollfree if omitted. |
| `region`      | `string` | No       | City or state filter, e.g. Mumbai, California                             |

## Before you call

* Connect and initialize the MCP client with OAuth or an API key for the intended workspace.
* Provide the required parameters: `country_iso`.

## Example MCP request

Send `tools/call` after your client completes MCP initialization. Replace placeholder values with IDs and inputs from your workspace. For object and array parameters, follow the nested requirements in the parameter description instead of treating an empty value as complete.

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_plivo_numbers",
    "arguments": {
      "country_iso": "VALUE"
    }
  }
}
```

The server returns one text content block. Parse `content[0].text` as JSON when the tool succeeds. See [MCP responses and errors](/docs/mcp-tools/errors) for the full envelope and failure behavior.

## Verify the result

Confirm the response is not marked `isError`, parse `content[0].text` as JSON, and verify that returned IDs and workspace data match the request.

## Retry safety

This tool does not change workspace data. Retrying after a transient transport failure is safe.
